The Reserve Bank of India will shortly be issuing Rs.20 notes in Mahatma Gandhi Series without inset letter in numbering panels bearing the signature of Dr. Bimal Jalan, Governor. Except for this change, the design of the Rs.20 denomination notes (in the 'Mahatma Gandhi' Series) to be issued now is similar in all respects to those issued earlier in the Mahatma Gandhi Series. All Rs.20 denomination notes issued by the Reserve Bank in the past will continue to be legal tender.
