evidence: Last year in December, a message started circling the social media which said the RBI will no longer let any bank accept currency note that comes with writings on them. The claim was that the government is losing some Rs 2,638 crore each year because of scribbled notes. [...] As it turned out, it was, like most declarations on social media, a false alert. The RBI soon confirmed this on its website that no such step has been taken by the government. Though scribbling on notes is discouraged, the RBI said scribbled notes in the market are still legal for transaction. [...] Nonetheless, banks are note allowed to turn away scribbled banknotes.
