New Rs.100 notes to carry ascending numbers
Mumbai, June 30
The Reserve Bank Of India (RBI)
has recently issued new Rs.100 currency notes in the Mahatma Gandhi
Series-2005 with a new numbering pattern, an official statement said.
The
numerals, henceforth, in both the number panels of these new currency
notes will be in ascending size from left to right. However, the prefix,
the first three alphanumeric characters will remain constant in size,
the RBI said.
This is a new visible security feature in the bank notes to enable public identify and distinguish it from a counterfeit one.
Barring
this new design of the numbering pattern, the bank note is similar to
the Rs.100 note in the existing Mahatma Gandhi Series-005.
It
bears the signature of current RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan, showing the
year of printing 2015 on the reverse, and the new numbering pattern will
be introduced in a phased manner in all other denominations.
