RBI's BIG Warning For Rs 500 Currency Notes - Is Your Note Counterfeit Or Real?

Hold the note against light to check the see-through register. The number "500" should align perfectly on both sides, confirming authenticity and preventing counterfeiting. 

A clear, detailed portrait of Mahatma Gandhi is centered on the note. It features raised printing, making it slightly rough to the touch for verification. 

Near Mahatma Gandhi’s portrait, find tiny inscriptions of "Bharat" in Devanagari and "India" in English. These micro letters serve as an anti-counterfeiting security feature. 

A vertical security thread inscribed with “Bharat” (Devanagari) and “RBI” changes color from green to blue when tilted, ensuring the note’s authenticity and security.  

Located to the right of Gandhi’s portrait, these elements verify the note’s authenticity, representing the Reserve Bank of India’s legal backing and promise of value. 

The Ashoka Pillar emblem, symbolizing India’s heritage, is printed on the right side. It should be distinct, well-defined, and serve as a critical security feature.  

A circular mark with microtext "Rs 500" is on the right. Five angular bleed lines on both sides assist visually impaired individuals in identifying the note. (Image Credit: File Photo)
