New One Rupee Notes To Be In Circulation Soon

New one rupee notes with predominantly pink-green on obverse and reverse in combination with other colours will soon be put into circulation.

The notes bearing the rupee symbol have been printed by the Government of India. At present, one rupee coins are minted. Printing of one rupee notes was discontinued in 1994 but was relaunched in 2015.

"The Reserve Bank of India will soon put into circulation currency notes in one rupee denomination," the central bank said in a statement.

The note will bear the signature of Shaktikanta Das, Secretary in the finance ministry. Other currency notes bear the signature of the RBI governor. The number will appear in black at the right hand bottom portion of the note.

On the reverse side, the year '2017' is mentioned. There is also representation of One Rupee coin with rupee symbol and a floral design and the surrounding design consists of the picture of 'Sagar Samrat' the oil exploration platform.

"The colour of the one rupee currency note shall be predominantly pink green on obverse and reverse in combination with others," the RBI said
