<h1>RBI mandates all banks to verify Rs 100+ notes for authenticity via machines before re-issuing to ensure currency integrity.</h1> The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) introduced a mechanism for detecting and reporting counterfeit notes as part of the Monetary Policy Statement 2012-13. Banks are instructed to ensure that banknotes of denominations 100 and above are re-issued only after being verified for authenticity using machines. This requirement applies to all bank branches, regardless of daily cash receipt volumes, and must be implemented immediately. The policy aims to enhance the integrity of currency circulation by mandating machine processing for authenticity checks before re-circulating these notes through bank counters or ATMs.
