New Delhi, February 21 2017: Barely three months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's demonetisation move banning the circulation of Rs 1,000 note, the Government is planning to bring back note of similar denomination in a new avatar soon.

On November 8, 2016, PM Modi had announced withdrawal of old Rs 500 and 1,000 notes from circulation with immediate effect.

Reports suggest that printing of new Rs 1,000 note has already begun and it may be introduced soon.

According to Indian Express , the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had planned to launch the new note in January but it was delayed as the Central bank was pre-occupied with pressing need to supply Rs 500 notes.

A sample of the new Rs 1,000 is being circulated on social media, however, we can not confirm whether the yet-to-be launched note is similar to photos of which have gone viral.

The violet coloured note bears a lot of resemblance with the new Rs 2,000 note.

Interestingly, images of new Rs 2,000 note were also leaked on social media prior to its launch.

By the look of it, the new note will have the security features seen in the Rs 2,000 notes.

However, with the counterfeiters managing to photos of which have gone viral.

However, with the counterfeiters managing to copy 11 out of the 17 security features of the new Rs 2,000, the RBI certainly needs to do more.
