In 2018, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had issued new -look currency notes in the denominations of Rs 10, Rs 50 and Rs 200. And in 2019, the RBI had introduced new lavender-coloured Rs 100 currency notes. It had asserted at the time that all Rs 100 currency notes issued earlier would also continue to be legal tender.
