India has been a heavy user of revenue stamps, both before and after independence. The first revenues were issued in the mid-nineteenth century and they are still being issued to this day. Apart from issues for the whole of India, many princely states, provinces and other states also had or still have their own revenue stamp issues.〔Barefoot, John. ''British Commonwealth Revenues''. 9th edition. York: J. Barefoot, 2012, pp. 169-211. ISBN 0906845726〕 ==Before independence== Before independence, Indian revenue stamps were closely modelled on similar designs from Great Britain, often using a key type design. Keytypes were used for several types of revenue, including: *Agreement *Broker's Note *Consular *Custodian's Fee *Entertainments (special issues for Bengal, Bombay and the United Provinces) *Foreign Bill *High Court Notarial *Insurance *Notarial *Revenue (Bombay only) *Share Transfer *Small Cause Court (Calcutta only) *Special Adhesive (including overprints for Vakil) Some taxes, however, had special stamps, and these were: *Central Excise *Court Fees (including issues for Copies and Service) *Customs *Foreign Bill *Forest Department *High Court (including issues for Advocate, Attorney and Notarial) *Insurance Agent Licence Fee *Match Tax *Notarial *Petition *Postal Note *Postal Service *Revenue (or Receipt) *Share Transfer *Small Cause Court (including special issues for Calcutta and Madras) *Special Adhesive (including overprints for Vakil) *Tobacco Excise In addition, numerous revenue stamps of unique designs were issued by the Princely States of India. a 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Revenue stamps of India」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
