How to avoid fake 50 and 100 rupee notes? This trick helps you quickly identify genuine notes.

Identify Fake 50 and 100 Notes: While most people carefully examine larger notes when shopping, they often slip smaller 20, 50, or 100 rupee notes into their pockets or wallets without checking them. Taking advantage of this carelessness, fraudsters attempt to circulate fake notes. Therefore, it’s important for everyone to know how to distinguish between real and fake notes.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has advised all citizens to be aware of the security features on banknotes. 50 and 100 rupee notes, in particular, have several security features that are very difficult to replicate in counterfeit notes.

• The value of 50 or 100 is clearly visible when viewed in front of the note in the special window on the bottom left side.
