Family Planning - Refugee Relief Local Overprint

From 15/11/71 until 31/3/73 the Indian Government levied a 5p tax on all mail, except postcards and newspapers, for the relief of refugees from the former East Pakistan. As supplies of the provisional overprint could not be sent to all Indian Post Offices in time, local postmasters were authorised to make their own overprints. These were applied by rubber stamps. Not listed by any catalog.
