The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Friday announced circulation of new currency denomination of Rs. 50 banknotes in the Mahatma Gandhi (New) Series.
Bearing signature of RBI Governor Urjit Patel, the new denomination has motif of Hampi with Chariot on the reverse, depicting the country's cultural heritage.
With base colour in fluorescent blue, the note has other designs, geometric patterns aligning with the overall colour scheme, both at the obverse and reverse.
All the banknotes in the denomination of Rs. 50 issued by the RBI in the earlier series will continue to be legal tender.
Last year in December, the central bank had announced issue of Rs. 50 denomination banknotes in the Mahatma Gandhi Series-2005, without inset letter in both the number panels, bearing signature of Patel and the year of printing '2016' printed on the reverse of the banknote.
It added that the design and security features of the new notes will be similar to the old tender, which will continue in circulation. ANI

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
