The Indian 2000-rupee banknote (₹2000) is a denomination of Indian currency. It was revealed by the Reserve Bank of India on 8 November 2016 and will be in circulation from 10 November 2016. It is a part of Mahatma Gandhi (New) Series of banknotes with a completely new design.
The Indian ₹2000-rupee note is the highest denomination of currency note printed by RBI that would be in active circulation, ever since the 5000 and 10,000 rupee notes were demonitised in January 1978.[1][2][3] The notes have been printed from the currency printing press in Mysuru.[4]
Design
It is 66 × 166 mm Magenta coloured, with the obverse side featuring a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi as well as the Ashoka Pillar Emblem, with a signature of the governor of Reserve Bank of India. It has the Braille feature to assist the visually challenged in identifying the currency.
The reverse side features a motif of the Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), depicting the country's first venture into interplanetary space and the logo and a tag line of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
Controversy
As per various reports, the new ₹2000 note was rumoured to be embedded with a 'micro nano GPS chip' which could help track the exact location of the new rupee via a satellite. However, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley dispelled rumours of ₹2000 banknote having any such chip.[5]
