At the time of partition of the
Indian sub-continent, India agreed to Pakistan\'s request to supply postage
stamps and postal stationery dully overprinted PAKISTAN on Indian stamps of King
George VI. Stocks of stamps in Treasuries under Pakistan jurisdiction were sent
to Nasik Security Press, and after receiving overprint, the stamps were brought
into use from October 1, 1947.
Rupee values were in vertical
shape with effigy of the King in an oval surrounded by decorated frame. The
colour of the frame is given first in salient features.
The overprint was applied across
the stamp in black, in lower Anna values it is 13mm and on l4a and rupee values
it is 19mm in length.
