10 Rupees

Pick 109 belongs to the Mahatma Gandhi New Series, launched by the RBI from 2016 onward as a wholesale redesign following the November 2016 demonetization — though the 10-rupee denomination itself was not among the notes demonetized. The redesign nonetheless swept through the entire series, with new color schemes and repositioned security elements applied consistently across denominations.

The Security Printing and Minting Corporation of India has handled production throughout, with output split across the Nashik and Mysuru presses depending on annual demand. High-volume denominations like the 10-rupee note are among the most aggressively circulated in the Indian system, and paper degradation on used examples is accordingly rapid.
