Inspired by the usefulness of local scaling of time in the path integral formalism, we introduce a new kind of hamiltonian path integral in this paper. A special case of this new type of path integral has been earlier found useful in formulating a scheme of hamiltonian path integral quantization in arbitrary coordinates. This scheme has the unique feature that quantization in arbitrary co-ordinates requires hamiltonian path integral to be set up in terms of the classical hamiltonian only, without addition of any adhoc $ O(\hbar ^2) $terms. In this paper we further study the properties of hamiltonian path integrals in arbitrary co-ordinates with and without local scaling of time and obtain the Schrodinger equation implied by the hamiltonian path integrals. As a simple illustrative example of quantization in arbitrary coordinates and of exact path integration we apply the results obtained to the case of Coulomb problem in two dimensions.
