A new note of Rs 100 has been issued by the Reserve Bank of India

A new design of 100 rupee note has been prepared

The Reserve Bank of India will shortly release the new Rs 100 currency note, the Central Bank said in a press release.
The new currency note will have lavender as its base colour.

"The note has other designs, geometric patterns aligning with the overall colour scheme, both at the obverse and reverse. Dimension of the banknote will be 66 mm × 142 mm," the RBI said in a press release

The old Rs 100 currency note will continue to be legal tender.
The new note will host motif of "Rani ki Vav" (Queen's stepwell) on the reverse side. Located in Gujarat's Patan, "Rani ki Vav" is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
For visually impaired, the new note features "intaglio or raised printing of Mahatma Gandhi portrait, Ashoka Pillar emblem, raised triangular identification mark with micro-text 100, four angular bleed lines both on the right and left sides".

The Reserve Bank today said it will soon issue new Rs 100 notes in lavender colour having motif of ‘Rani ki vav’ — a stepwell located on the banks of Saraswati river in Gujarat’s Patan. “All Rs 100 banknotes issued earlier will also continue to be legal tender,” the central bank said while announcing the issue of the new Rs 100 notes.

The base colour of the note is Lavender. The note has other designs, geometric patterns aligning with the overall colour scheme, both at the obverse and reverse. Dimension of the banknote will be 66 mm x 142 mm, making it smaller than the current Rs 100 notes. The size of current Rs 100 notes is 157 mm x 73 mm

“As is normal, when a new design of banknote is introduced, printing and supply of these notes for distribution to public through the banking channel will gradually increase,” said the RBI, which issues currency in the country.
