Putting to rest all the rumours around issuing a new denomination note, the Central government confirmedon
Wednesday, August 23 that a new Rs 200 will be issued by the Reserve
Bank of India. Starting from August 25, the new denomination notes,
orange-saffron in colour, will be available in ATMs and banks. “In
exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) of section 24 of the
Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934 and on the recommendations of the
Central Board of Directors of the Reserve Bank of India, the Central
Government hereby specifies the denomination of bank notes of the value
of two hundred rupees,” an official government notification said.
Meanwhile, discussion and excitement around the new note has intensified on social media. From people who are confused about the colour of the notes to those who had some hilarious suggestions to the Centre and the RBI now, it has a joke-fest up there on the Internet, especially on the micro-blogging site.
Along with the rumours, since there were Rs 200 notes of colour
purple also floating on the Internet, a lot of people were evidently
confused after the new note was introduced. And others seemed to be
preparing themselves for the obvious – the endless number of selfies
with Rs 200 notes that the Internet will be flooded with.
