<h1>RBI Urges Public to Respect Banknotes, Avoid Using Them for Garlands or Decorations at Social Events.</h1> The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has urged the public to refrain from using banknotes for purposes such as making garlands, decorating venues, or showering them on individuals during social events. These practices deface the banknotes and reduce their lifespan. The RBI emphasized that banknotes symbolize the sovereign and should be treated with respect. The RBI is committed to providing clean banknotes nationwide and calls on the public to support these efforts by handling currency responsibly.
