<h1>Finance Ministry Denies Ties with UK Note Printing Firm; No New Contracts Since 2014 Amid Allegations.</h1> The Ministry of Finance has denied any collaboration with a UK-based note printing company accused of misconduct. This company supplied bank note paper until 2010 and was allowed to provide a security feature until December 2015. However, no new contracts have been awarded since 2014, as the Ministry withheld the company's security clearance. The company has applied to establish a factory in India, but no action has been taken on this application. The government has not compromised national interest, contrary to recent media reports.
