RBI to issue Rs. 100 Banknotes with Rupee symbol Rs. and Inset Letter 'A'

The Reserve Bank of India will shortly issue Rs. 100 denomination Banknotes incorporating " Rs. " symbol on the obverse and reverse, with inset letter 'A' in both the numbering panels, in the Mahatma Gandhi Series-2005. The notes will bear the signature of Dr. D. Subbarao, Governor, Reserve Bank of India and the year of printing, that is, '2013' printed on the reverse of the Banknote.

The design of these notes to be issued now will be similar in all respects to the Rs. 100 Banknotes in Mahatma Gandhi Series-2005 issued earlier.

All the Banknotes in the denomination of Rs. 100 issued by the Bank in the past will continue to be legal tender.
