new Rs2,000 banknote from RBI?

Twitter is abuzz with images of several bundles of pink-and-white notes posing as the new Rs 2,000 denomination that the Reserve Bank of India reportedly intends to release into circulation soon. According to an October report, RBI has already completed preparations for introducing this high-value note into the Indian market soon.



Though indianexpress.com could not independently verify if the photos doing the rounds on social media are, in fact, leaked photos of the actual notes or a hoax, Twitterati seems to be enthusiastically sharing the pictures on the micro-blogging site..




The news follows a The Hindu Business-line article, dated October 21, which said the notes have already been printed at the currency printing press in Mysuru and they were already being dispatched. Nevertheless, there has been no official diktat from either the government or RBI regarding the issuing of any such banknote
