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 `F' inset in both numbering panels. Except for this change, the design of the Rs 100 notes to be issued now is similar to those issued earlier in the `Mahatma Gandhi' Series. All Rs. 100 denomination notes, in various designs, issued by the Bank in the past will continue to be legal tender.
