Currently, RBI issues banknotes of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 2000 denominations in India. If RBI wants, it can also reissue notes of 5000 and 10,000 rupees. As per Section 24 of the RBI Act, 1934 RBI is empowered to print 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 2000, 5000, 10000 or such other denomination not exceeding ten thousand Right is received.
RBI cannot print one rupee or note because this right has been given to the Government of India under the Coinage Act. It bears the signature of the Finance Secretary instead of the Governor of RBI.
What are notes made of
The note you use, do you know what that note is made of? The paper currently used for printing banknotes is made using 100% cotton. Hindi is written in the middle of this note and in English at the back. Apart from this, fifteen languages appear in the language panel of the banknote.
Can there be two notes of the same number?
Many times this question also arises in the mind whether there can be similarity in the numbers of two or more banknotes. So the answer is yes. According to the RBI website, two or more banknotes may have the same serial number, but either with different inset letters, or with different years of printing, or with the signature of a different Governor of the Reserve Bank of India. An inset letter is a character printed on the number panel of a banknote. Notes can also be without any inset letter.
