The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) <br />will issue the first-ever Rs 200 denomination <br />banknotes tomorrow. The currency note is <br />expected to address liquidity issue and also <br />reduce the burden on the Rs 100 note. <br />"The Reserve Bank of India will issue on <br />August 25, Rs 200 denomination banknotes in <br />the Mahatma Gandhi (New) Series, bearing <br />signature of Dr. Urjit R. Patel, RBI Governor," <br />RBI said in a release. <br />"The new denomination has Motif of Sanchi Stupa on the reverse. The base <br />colour of the note is Bright Yellow. The note has other designs, geometric <br />patterns aligning with the overall colour scheme, both at the obverse and <br />reverse," RBI said. <br />The circulation of the new note is likely to bridge the shortage of small currency <br />denomenation notes that have faced a shortage after introduction of Rs 2000 <br />note and demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes. RBI also expects the <br />new note to be very popular as there is no other denomination between Rs 100 <br />and Rs 500 notes.
