<P> On 1 October 1947 , the government released its first stamps , being from the 1940s British India series of King George VI stamps overprinted with the word Pakistan . Known as the Nasik Overprints , after the place near Mumbai , India , where they were overprinted , this set consists of 19 stamps . These Nasik overprints were also used in some Gulf states , both officially and unofficial . At the time of independence , the postal system of some of these areas was run from Karachi , and therefore , they became the responsibility of the new government . Officially these stamps were used in Muscat and Oman and its protectorate of Gwadar ( on Pakistan 's Baluchistan coast ) and Dubai . Muscat used these stamps for a period of only 3 months from 29 December 1947 to 31 March 1948 . Gwadar used this issue and various other commemorative ones until 1958 . Dubai used these stamps from October 1947 until the end of March 1948 . </P>
