Do you know

The one rupee note (and coin) is the only denomination that is truly Legal Tender. The one rupee note is produced by the Government of India. All other higher denomination notes are bank promissory notes issued by the Reserve Bank of India. On these notes, if you read the promise carefully, you can see that the Reserve Bank Governor promises to pay the holder of the note so many Indian Rupees. The Indian Rupee (one rupee) is the only legal tender currency and that is being produced by the Government of India. All other notes are produced by the Reserve Bank of India.
