Some additional measures for good governance have been proposed in the Union Budget 2011-12. While presenting the Union Budget the Finance Minister Shri Pranab Mukherjee said in Lok Sabha that Technology Advisory Group for Unique Projects (TAGUP) has submitted its report and its recommendations have been accepted in principle.

The Finance Minister Shri Mukherjee also informed the house that the government has approached Unicode Standards Authority for inclusion of the Indian Rupee Symbol in international standard. A new series of coins carrying this symbol will also be issued shortly.

Acceptance of advisory recommendations prompts standardisation and formal adoption of the national currency symbol and coin issuance. Recommendations of a Technology Advisory Group for Unique Projects were accepted in principle under governance measures in the Union Budget 2011-12, and the government has sought inclusion of the Indian Rupee symbol in the international Unicode standard while planning issuance of a new coin series bearing the symbol.
