The Reserve Bank of India said on Thursday that it has issued Rs 100 denomination banknotes in the Mahatma Gandhi Series -2005 with a new numbering pattern.
The central bank in a release said that “Now, the numerals in both the number panels of these banknotes will be in ascending size from left to right while the first three alphanumeric numerical characters will remain constant in size. Printing the numerals in ascending size is a visible security feature in the banknotes so that the general public can easily distinguish a counterfeit note from a genuine one.”
