| Comments |
The ₹ symbol appearing on the reverse marks the adoption of India's official rupee sign, designed by D. Udaya Kumar and approved by the Union Cabinet in July 2010 — one of only a handful of currencies in modern history to codify a new typographic symbol by legislative act and immediately incorporate it into circulating paper. That single design change is what distinguishes this P#102 series from its immediate predecessor.
The plate letter system here rewards close attention. Subbarao-signed notes appear with letters A, M, and S; Rajan-signed issues cluster around L and R. The 2016 Rajan replacement note with plate letter L is catalog-listed as such, though regular issues with the same letter combination exist — making star-note identification dependent on the serial prefix rather than the plate letter alone.
