Did you work there many decades ago? Because here in India passbooks have had printer entry for at least 20-30 years give or take or more. And if there was an old passbook (that was designed for handwritten entries) it had to be replaced by a new passbook immediately (you could keep the old passbook but it would crossed/marked or something).

No, just a decade or so.
We had passbook printers, but their ribbons were quite poor and broke often so we ended up writing a lot of books. Joys of living in an old school market town!
If we had an old one we kept and destroyed it (but really, it was given back lol) - we’d hand copy and books that went wrong at renewal which was probably a weekly occurrence.
