Security features of 100-rupee banknotes being enhanced by the Reserve Bank of India

India Blooms News Service | | Jan 22, 2016, at 11:34 pm

Mumbai, Jan 22 (IBNS): The Reserve Bank of India will put into circulation 100-rupee banknotes incorporating enhanced security features, same as those in rupees-500 and rupees-1000 banknotes.

In a press release issued on Friday, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said it will now put into circulation rupees-100 denomination banknotes incorporating all the three new/ revised features seen in the rupees-500 and rupees-1000 banknotes, namely, ascending size of numerals in the number panels, bleed lines, and enlarged identification mark, in addition to the existing ones, in the Mahatma Gandhi Series-2005.

The salient features of the new banknotes are-

Ascending size of numerals in numbering panels: Numerals in both the number panels of these banknotes will be in ascending size from left to right, while the first three alpha-numeric characters will remain constant in size.

Bleed lines: With a view to facilitating identification of denomination of the banknote by visually impaired persons, â‚¹ 100 banknotes will have a total of four angular bleed lines in two sets of 2-2 lines on the obverse on both the left- and right-hand edge of the bank note.

Enlarged identification mark: The existing identification mark (triangle) near the left edge of the banknote has been enlarged.

The instant notes will have the inset letter ‘E’ in the number panels. The notes will bear the signature of Dr. Raghuram G. Rajan, Governor.

The year of printing (2015) appears on the reverse.

The rupees-100 denomination banknotes with numerals in ascending size in number panels only (without bleed lines and enlarged identification mark) will remain in circulation concomitantly with the banknotes with all three features being issued now.

All the banknotes in this denomination issued hitherto by Reserve Bank of India will continue to be legal tender.
