This is a highly sought-after full sheetlet of the Guru Granth Sahib 400th Anniversary commemorative issue. This specific design is a known WITHDRAWN ISSUE.
Shortly after its release in 2004/2005, the Indian Department of Posts withdrew this stamp from all head post offices across the country due to sensitivities regarding the depiction of the holy scripture. While most stock was recalled and destroyed, a small number of sheets had already been sold, making this a rare find for collectors of Indian philately and religious history.
The sheet is in Pristine Mint Never Hinged (MNH) condition with no creases, toning, or damage to the perforations. It has been stored in a smoke-free, climate-controlled environment in a protective sleeve.
Why this is a must-have: - Scarce Variety: Withdrawn stamps are among the most desirable "modern rarities" in philately. - Historical Importance: Commemorates the 1604–2004 anniversary of the installation of the Adi Granth - Investment Grade: Values for this specific sheet have seen significant appreciation due to its limited availability.
