RBI to release new notes for Rs 20 and Rs 50 soon



Issue of Rs. 20 banknotes with the inset letter 'L', with numerals in ascending size in number panels and without intaglio printing

The Reserve Bank of India will shortly issue Rs. 20 denomination banknotes in the Mahatma Gandhi Series-2005, with inset letter 'L' in both the number panels, bearing signature of Dr. Urjit R Patel, Governor, Reserve Bank of India, and the year of printing '2016' printed on the reverse of the banknote.
