Reserve bank of India (RBI) directed Clean Note Policy which means keep our currency neat & clean. All the Customers are requested to avoid the practice of writing on the body of bank notes with immediate effect. If any thing is written on the body of bank note, It will be considered a piece of paper W.E.F. 30.06.2015. Such note will neither be accepted by the bank nor by the market.
RBI is compulsorily taking such step W.E.F. 30.06.2015 under `Clean Note Policy`.
American currency remains clean, Therefore this policy is going to be implemented to keep the Indian currency neat & clean.
RBI has implemented such policy under `Clean Note Policy`. But it was not followed yet properly this policy will be followed strictly W.E.F. 30.06.2015 now as pet rbi directives
