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.

RBI asks public to refrain from writing on banknotes.
