RBI asks public to refrain from writing on banknotes
Mumbai, Jul 16: Reserve Bank today asked the public not to write on the watermark window of banknotes as it bears an important security feature which differentiates it from a fake note.
RBI said it was brought to its notice that members of public and institutions write number, name or messages on the watermark window of banknotes and thus deface the currency.
After 20 years, RBI to put Re 1 note into circulation
Any defacement on the window will not allow the common man to identify one of the features of a genuine note," RBI said in a notification.
"The public is, therefore, requested to refrain from doing anything that leads to defacement," it added.
