RBI to issue new Rs 20 note with change in inset letter

In few months if you get a new Rs 20 note do not get worried thinking it as forged note. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will shortly issue Rs 20 denomination banknotes with a change in inset letter. In new Rs 20 notes RBI is making changes in inset letter in both numbering panels in Mahatma Gandhi Series – 2005 bearing the signature of Dr D Subbarao, Governor.

The rest of the design of these notes to be issued now will be same in all respects to the banknotes in Mahatma Gandhi Series – 2005, with additional/new security features issued on August 16, 2006. RBI sources said, all the old Rs 20 banknotes issued by the RBI will continue to be legal tender.
