Intro
On July 11-1887, Noorudin was sending biiiiiig amounts of money to Qadian from Jammu. In the below, we have a reference from Maktubat wherein MGA was telling Noorudin that he recieved the first half of a 500 rupee note and that it was OK to send the other half. Furthermore, the 500 rupee note seemed to be the biggest amount of money in cash available in British India in 1887.
“Today half the field note has reached, five hundred rupees, because it is rainy season, if please
send the second piece in the registered letter, then the rupee should reach some carefully.”

Slm Brother Bashir, may Allah s.w. bless you.
I have found a site on the reserve bank of india. I guess it was a common practice in british india to cut banknotes into half for protection reasons.

This I think Mirza GA has only adapted, the question though is whether Mirzas was transparent and let the post office know that there were banknotes in the envelope and whether he was allowed to do it on his own as a private person at all. If the postal workers knew about it, then it must have been legal, if not, it was illegal.

Yep, it seems like it was allowed for employees, and the not the laymen.
