New ₹1,000 note with temple image? Govt clarifies
Social media posts suggesting a new ₹1,000 currency note featuring a temple design has been issued have been debunked by the Press Information Bureau's Fact Check unit. Claims that the note will go into circulation on the 15th are false, according to the agency. The Reserve Bank of India has not publicly announced the launch of a new denomination.
India currently uses banknotes in the denominations of ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100, ₹200, and ₹500 under the Mahatma Gandhi (New) Series. The ₹1,000 note was discontinued in 2016 as part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's demonetization program.
