Reserve Bank of India clarifies on Star Series Banknotes
The banknotes bearing the star (*) symbols on the number panel are completely genuine and have the same value as other legal money, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) stated today.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) stated in a news release that conversations on social media platforms have recently focused on the legitimacy of banknotes with the Star (*) sign on the number panel. In this regard, notice is given that, in a packet of one hundred serially numbered banknotes, the Star (*) symbol is placed in the number panel of a banknote that is used to replace banknotes that have been printed incorrectly. A Star (*) sign is added to the number panel between the prefix and the serial number, otherwise a banknote bearing this symbol is the same as any other valid banknote. The Star(*) icon indicates that the banknote has been changed or reproduced."
