Indian Paper Money Guide Book 2012–2013 (1770–2011) is a practical catalogue and pricing guide for collectors of Indian banknotes. Published annually by Philatelia, it serves as a handy reference covering the evolution of Indian paper currency from the earliest private bank issues of 1770 through modern Reserve Bank of India notes up to 2011. Unlike large scholarly reference works, this guide is designed for everyday use by collectors, dealers, and numismatists, offering concise descriptions, identification details, rarity information, and market valuations.

The guide catalogs notes issued by private banks, Presidency Banks, the Government of India (British Raj), the Reserve Bank of India, princely states, and other specialized issues. It includes colour illustrations, signature varieties, prefixes, replacement notes, and grading-based price estimates, making it particularly useful for identifying and valuing banknotes. Compact and regularly updated, it is a convenient reference for both beginners and intermediate collectors.
