Especially for big notes such as 500 and 1000 rupees, it is tried to run counterfeit notes.
"That's why ... this warning has been issued for the last two years."
He said that the central bank has recently sent a new law to the government to prevent the counterfeit currency from the government. The proposed law provides for maximum life sentence for counterfeit currency offenses.
Even then there is a case of fake notes being issued by most people, and several cases are being filed every month.
