The Reserve Bank of India will shortly be issuing notes in the denomination of Rs.100 and Rs.50 in the Mahatma Gandhi Series with capital letter 'R' inset in both the numbering panels. The notes will bear the signature of Dr. Bimal Jalan, Governor. Except for this change, the design of Rs. 100 and Rs. 50 notes being issued now is similar in all respects to those issued earlier in Mahatma Gandhi series. All Rs.100 and Rs.50 notes denomination notes issued by the Reserve Bank in the past will continue to be legal tender. Alpana Killawala
