Indian Counterfeit ₹500 Notes in Circulation - Public Urged to Exercise Caution
Reports indicate that counterfeit ₹500 notes are circulating in the market. These notes are reportedly difficult to distinguish from genuine currency.
The primary distinguishing feature is a subtle misspelling: "RESERVE BANK OF INDIA" appears as "RESARVE BANK OF INDIA" with an "A" instead of an "E" following the "S" in "RESERVE."
The public is advised to exercise caution while accepting ₹500 notes. Carefully inspect the notes for any discrepancies, particularly the spelling on the Reserve Bank of India watermark.
