BERI adhesive Court Fee stamps :
So far I'm aware of five different values :
1a orange
2a green
4a yellow
8a red
1R purple.
Printed by L.V.Indap & Co of Bombay.
Perhaps other values exist of this series, and possibly there was an earlier series, as these stamps were only issued in (or around) 1940. Readers, if you can add information, please comment.
