We all know about the recently introduced e-way bill for transportation of goods. But do you know about transportation of goods during Medieval period under Mughals.
Movements of good during those times was facilitated by a financial system called Hundis.
The Hundi was a letter of credit payable after a period of time at a discount. The Hundis often included insurance.
The Sarrafs or Shroffs specialised in dealing with Hundis.
Thus, movement of money which was always a risky enterprise could be reduced.
