Truth

We spoke with RBI spokesman and he denied such rumors. There is no such information/notice/circular on RBI’s official website.

Further, all messages has a like to a website newstracklive but the article is either deleted or wasn’t ever there.

Livemint also cleared it

About photos of News Channel –

Aajtak runs a program Viral Sach in which they clarify Viral messages on Social Media. So the photos taken from the program are merely from the first part where they were explaining what’s viral which they clarified later in the same program.

The letter lookalike on VRL Transport company letterhead probably also is a result of this hoax.

A similar Hoax was viral last month an computer generated image of Rs 1000 notes claiming it to be a leaked image, and that it’s starting from 1st Jan 2019 which was fake and debunked

 

Is this really the new 1000 Rs note to be launched on 1st Jan 2020 ?
