It was in 1909 that the Indian postal administration opened a post office in Dubai. When Indian Independence arrived on August 15, 1947, the postal administrative control based itself in Karachi, and it was Pakistan that would take the provisional title in the following months to manage the offices in Kuwait, Bahrain, Dubai and Muscat. On April 1, 1948, the British postal administration regained control of these offices and the English stamps changed into Indian currency were used at this time.Later the naye paisa on these Stamps were overstamped by the Dirham (Dh.). The British government set up a postal administration for Eastern Arabia and used overprinted British stamps until January 7, 1961, when Dubai issued its own stamps inscribed "Trucial States". Despite the name, these were only on sale in Dubai's post office.
