Security Issues with INR

Fake Currency plays a major role in the economic depreciation of any country. The fake currency has always been one of the major issues in weakening the Indian economy and has been concerning for Bank of India "RBI".

There were various security issues with the INR that is why the government of India decided to put a ban on 500 and 1000 Rupee notes in 2016 and introduced new notes of denominations 500 and 2000. According to many government agencies, this step has helped India to seize the counterfeiting of notes as the new notes are equipped with better security features.
