The "correct Urdu" designation in the name distinguishes this series from earlier ₹100 notes where the Urdu script on the language panel contained orthographic errors — a printing embarrassment that persisted for years before being corrected. The fix was significant enough that cataloguers treat it as a separate type.
Four governors signed across the issue's twelve-year run, with I. G. Patel's tenure being the longest represented and the only one to carry a plate letter. Narasimham's signature is the scarcest — he served as RBI Governor for only a matter of months in 1977 before moving to the IMF.
