Jaipur- Rukkas & Hundis
A Rukka was a fiscal instrument that exhibited features of a cheque as well as a Hundi.
Dungarpur Hundis
1.Hundi for 100/= . The rubber stamp is for Sri Ramchandra Lakshman Bank, Dungarpur. The Munim (accountant) of the bank has signed the Hundi (bottom right). In the text, One can see the amount mentioned as “Hundred Rupees half of which is Fifty Rupees and double of which is Two Hundred Rupees”. The Sahjog Hundi was issued in the year 1938 (Samvat 1995).
2.This SahayogHundi issued in 1914 (Samvat 1971) is for 300/= and also pertains to Sri Ramchandra Lakshman Bank, Dungarpur.In the text, One can see the amount mentioned as “Three Hundred Rupees half of which is One Hundred and Fifty Rupees and double of which is Six Hundred Rupees”. The legend “BELOW RUPEES THREE HUNDRED” appears in purple in a vertical line running across the text.
3. The third Hundi is from Vasudevji Muralidharji Bank, Sagwara. But right in the beginning of the text it mentions Sri ramchandraji Lakshman Bank, Dungarpur. So in a way it is related to the above two Hundis.
This Hundi Serial Number is 187 (top left) . The Hundi isfor “Four Hundred and Fifty Rupees half of which is Two Hundred and Twenty Five Rupees and double of which is full Rupees Nine Hundred”.The year of issue is 1941 (Samvat 1998).

Victorian Hundis
1. This Hundi for 2500 Rupees was executed on June 6th, 1879.
2. This Hundi is also for 2500 Rupees and was executed on September 6th 1881.
3. This Hundi is also for 2500 Rs and was executed in 1881 but bears the Rubber Stamp of a European Bank at the reverse.
And the obverse (notice the amount enclosed in a box as well as the Banker’s rubber stamp) :
4. This Hundi is for 2500/= but bears a One Anna embossed stamp. The paper bears a Watermark- the Royal Coat of Arms of ENgland. If one looks carefully one can make out the Unicorn, the word “droit” etc. The low amount of stamp duty (the document appears to pertain to 1860) might imply a significant upward revision of stamp duty rates between 1860 and 1879.
5. Long Victoria stamps on Hundi.

Twelve Annas (Notice the similarity in design with the 12 Anna King Edward Hundi)
