The Reserve Bank of India will shortly be issuing Rs.100 notes in Mahatma Gandhi Series without inset letter in numbering panel bearing the signature of Dr. Y. V. Reddy, Governor. Except for the signature of the Governor, the design of the Rs.100 notes to be issued now is similar in all respects to those issued earlier in the 'Mahatma Gandhi' Series. All Rs.100 denomination notes in Mahatma Gandhi Series issued by the Bank in the past will continue to be legal tender.
