Issue of Rs.100 Banknotes with incorporation of Rupee symbol (Rs.) without inset letter

The Reserve Bank of India will shortly issue Rs.100 denomination Banknotes incorporating Rs. symbol on the obverse and reverse, without inset letter in both the numbering panels, in the Mahatma Gandhi Series-2005 bearing the signature of Dr. Raghuram G. Rajan, Governor, Reserve Bank of India, and the year of printing '2013' printed on the reverse of the Banknote.

The design of these notes to be issued now is 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.
