In June 2011, RBI had issued ` 500 denomination notes in non-sequential numbering. It has now been decided to issue banknotes of ` 1000 denomination also on similar lines. Packets of Banknotes in non-sequential number will, as usual, have 100 notes. The bands of the packets containing the banknotes in non-sequential number will clearly be superscribed with the legend, “The packet contains 100 notes not numbered sequentially.”
