India: RBI to issue 10 Rupees banknote with the Rupee symbol

The Reserve Bank of India will shortly issue 10 Rupees denomination banknotes with the Rupee symbol. These banknotes will be very similar to the existing Mahatma Gandhi Series and will carry the signature of Dr. D.

This banknote follows the issuance of coins with the Rupee symbol recently.
