The Reserve Bank of India will shortly issue Rs.5 denomination banknotes with inset letter 'E' in numbering panel in Mahatma Gandhi Series bearing the signature of Dr. D. Subbarao, Governor. Except for the change in the inset letter, the design of these notes to be issued now is similar in all respects to those issued earlier in Mahatma Gandhi Series. All Rs.5 denomination banknotes issued by the Reserve Bank in the past will continue to be legal tender.
