Mumbai, July 19 (IBNS): The Reserve Bank of India will shortly issue Rs 100 - Rupee banknotes in the Mahatma Gandhi (New) Series.

.The new denomination has the motif of “RANI KI VAV” on the reverse, depicting the country’s cultural heritage. The base colour of the note is Lavender, RBI said on Thursday in a press release.

The central bank said all the notes in the earlier Rs 100 series will continue to be legal tender.

Unlike the green-coloured notes issued earlier, the base colour of the new note is Lavender, the release said.

"The note has other designs, geometric patterns aligning with the overall colour scheme, both at the obverse and reverse. The dimension of the banknote will be 66 mm × 142 mm."

"As is normal, when a new design of banknote is introduced, printing and supply of these notes for distribution to the public through the banking channel will gradually increase," said RBI.
