The Reserve Bank of India will shortly be issuing Rs.5 notes in Mahatma Gandhi Series with capital letter "R" inset in numbering panel bearing the signature of Dr. Bimal Jalan, Governor. Except for the change in inset letter, the design of the Rs.5 notes to be issued now is similar in all respects to those issued earlier in the Mahatma Gandhi Series. All Rs.5 denomination notes issued by the Bank in the past will continue to be legal tender.
