I think I found some info about this 'interesting' Savings stamp book.

If you didn't have enough money to open a savings account; you had the option of starting with a 'savings stamp book'. Once you saved 12 stamps in the book, they would convert it into a 'savings account'.

Hmm. it looks 'Money' was not that abundant those days.

It was there when I was growing up.
The Card had specific number of slots for each denomination.
25 cents, 50 cents and even Rs 1 slots were there (if I can remember correctly) and school children were encouraged to save that way.
Once all the slots are taken, a card would worth Rs 100/= (again if I can remember correctly) and then you can open a NSB (minor) account with that Card and get another new card and start the whole process again from the scratch.
