.....................In the last fiscal, the RBI detected 35,000 pieces of counterfeit notes in the State. Officials of RBI, Chennai region, said that they discourage scribbling on the currency notes as it reduces the life of the note and obstructs detection of forgery. It is against the RBI’s clean note policy. Notes with political and religious messages will lose exchange value. “We have received complaints about various government departments indulging in such practices. We write to the head of the departments such as BSNL and India Post advising them to stop the practice,” said an official. The RBI recently trained staff of BSNL and police on detection of fake currency notes. For complaints and training programmes, RBI can be reached at 044-25362041 or at rdchennai@rbi.org.in.
