Banking and monetary regulator Reserve Bank of India is soon going to introduce currency notes of Rs 1000 and Rs 10 denominations bearing the new rupee symbol. The new rupee symbol came into practice last year. According to a statement by the apex bank, the Rs 1000 notes will be of the Mahatma Gandhi-2005 Series and will have the signature of Mr D Subbarao, governor of RBI. Other than the new symbol, all characteristics of the note will be similar to earlier Rs 1000 notes. Rs 1000 notes issued so far by the apex bank will continue to be in circulation, said the RBI.
