: Fake currency notes in denominations of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 with a face value of Rs 20,000 have been detected in cash sent from nationalised banks to the Reserve Bank of India's zonal office here, police said.
They said the currency was found among the bundles of cash sent to RBI's zonal office over the last few months.

The cash deposited by customers should also carry the account number of the depositor.
