Anyone tell me anything about this Indian Victorian item?

The date is around 1880s. Here is a scan:

Thank you for any info. Also, a rough estimate of its value, would be
appreciated.

These things are called "Hundis" and are basically just a large tax stamp
that was printed at the top of the page, I have a couple of them and they
are rather more common than not. I don't have them imaged on
banknotebank.com yet as they are rather large and a pain to scan. Most
people subsequently cut the bottom part of the document off and discarded it
and kept the Hundi tax stamp.

Thank you - I missed that one! It gives some explanation of what it
is, too...
