<h1>RBI Implements Clean Note Policy to Prevent Currency Damage After 2010 Termite Incident in State Bank of India.</h1> The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) reported no recent incidents of currency note damage in public sector banks. However, in 2010, Rs. 3.75 crores in notes were damaged by termites at a State Bank of India currency chest in Fatehpur, Barabanki. To prevent such incidents, the RBI has implemented measures under its Clean Note Policy, including construction specifications, safe custody agreements, location guidelines, regular fitness checks, and issuing notes on a First in First Out basis. These steps aim to safeguard currency from damage due to environmental factors like termites, floods, and dampness.
