Wrong usage of India stamp after separation

Wrong usage of India stamp after separation. Burma separated from India on 1 April 1937. After that day, not only the political administration, but the postal administration had also been separated. Provisional set of stamps was issued by overprinting 'Burma' on India stamps. On this cover, sent on 5 May 1937, the sender wrongly mixed and franked the Burma overprinted stamps (2Rs) and India postage stamp (1A). The cover was sent from Kyonpyaw, lower Burma, to Karaikudi, India.
