The Reserve Bank of India will shortly be issuing Rs. 100 notes in Mahatma Gandhi series bearing the signature of Dr. Bimal Jalan, Governor, with capital letter 'L' inset in both numbering panels and incorporating words "Mahatma Gandhi" instead of "M. K. Gandhi" below the portrait of the Mahatma. Except for these changes, the design of 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 issued by the Reserve Bank in the past will continue to be legal tender.
