"The RBI will shortly issue Rs 1000 denomination Banknotes incorporating rupee symbol, without inset letter, in the Mahatma Gandhi Series-2005 bearing the signature of Raghuram G Rajan, Governor, Reserve Bank of India, and the year of printing 2014 printed on the reverse of the banknote," a release from the RBI said.
RBI said the design of these notes to be issued would be similar in all respects to the Rs 1000 banknotes in Mahatma Gandhi Series-2005, issued earlier.
"All the Banknotes in the denomination of Rs 1,000 issued by the Bank in the past will continue to be legal tender."
