RBI in its latest circular

RBI in it's latest circular RBI/2016-2017/123 DCM (Plg) No.1251/10.27.00/2016-17 has advised general public not to accept new currency note which has any text or sketch drawn on it.
This notification is as part of master circular published on 10th-Nov on withdrawal of Legal Tender of ₹500/- and ₹1000/- Bank Notes.

In a separate press release RBI governor Mr Urjit Patel has clarified that as part of Government’s initiate to curb the use of black money, new notes of ₹ 500/- and ₹ 2000/- are printed with latest cutting edge technology which cannot be counterfeited and from Jan-2017 will be deposited and dispensed using new electronic machines across all banks in India. These German machines are imported as part of Modi's digital India programme and will not be able to accept notes which have any text or sketch drawn on it. Reason for the same is in foreign countries, *p*eople do not write anything on the notes and hence their software are not designed to read anything apart from what’s printed on the note.

Pls forward this information to all your friends and *r*elatives (especially aged ones) to be extra careful while *a*ccepting these new notes to ensure that they do not accept currency notes which *h*ave anything written over it. *A*s such currency notes will no longer be accepted by banks or *R*BI...
So Beware..writing on currency notes make it useless
