Identify fake currency notes by following these simple guidelines.


Fake currency notes have no exchange value. These means that if you go to the bank and deposit any fake currency notes, the bank officials would sign it and send it for the further verification. They would not be giving you any exchange money for it. Fake currency notes is a growing menace in the country. So it is very important to check for the genuineness of all the currency notes you receive-specially the larger denominations.

The Reserve Bank of India has the sole authority to issue bank notes in India. Reserve Bank of India, like other central banks the world over, changes the design of banknotes from time to time. The Reserve Bank has introduced banknotes in the Mahatma Gandhi Series since 1996. It has so far issued notes in the denominations of Rs.5, Rs.10, Rs.20, Rs.50, Rs.100, Rs.500 and Rs.1000 in this series. These notes contain distinct easily recognizable security features to facilitate the detection of genuine notes vis-à-vis forgeries.
