500 Rupee Note
Introduction
It’s a Saturday morning..!!
I Got ready for an outing with my friends..!
I’m on my bike and suddenly realized that my bike fuel indicator displays as “No Petrol”
With a great rush, I looked up for the the nearest fuel station to pump at least Rs.500/- worth of petrol and to go for ride.
Finally, I reached the bunk with a satisfaction (Ufff) and the pbunk guy pumped the petrol.
After being filled up, I gave a Rs.500/- rupees note to the bunk guy. He put it towards the sky, turned it back and forth twice & put it in his pocket.

16 must observe Identifications in a 500 Rupee Note
I’m going to discuss here about the original 500 rupee Note & it’s a Mahatma Gandhi New Series.
The size of the note is 66mm x 150 mm.
I will try to cover all the minute details on 500 rupee note. I will start with the front side of the note, and that too from the extreme left-hand side.
Reader’s Note:
It is to be noted that all the identifications mentioned in the article are suggested by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). So, observe all the 16 steps to find the original note, my dear friends.
#Fact 1: White color lines
If you see from the extreme left, firstly look at this area from the bottom (See the image below). If seen from long, you will see 2 White color lines will appear here.
Now, turn your note in a clockwise direction to see it. There you can see the number 500, which is an identification number.
#Fact 2: Devanagari script
The number 500 will look like an English letter but it’s not our regular number system format. Its a Devanagari script. Your note value in that script will be mentioned in that number system format.
(You can see this in the below image)
#Fact 3: Father of Nation Photo
If you look here you can see the Father of the Nation, Shri Mahatma Gandhi’s photo appears in the middle. It is another identification.
Of course, most Indians are aware of this identification.
Right.!!
#Fact 4: Dot lines thread [Important]
Now, I’m going to show you an exciting identification.
If you see here, there is a green color dot line thread which is vertically next to Shri. Mahatma Gandhi. If you see that line from a distance, it looks like a Green color line.
But if you turn the note slightly to the side, then only you can see that the thread of the window will change from green color to dark blue color. This is a very important identification.
#Fact 5: RBI Mandates
Coming to another IDentification, If you look next to the thread, you can see a Guarantee clause. It contains the RBI Governor’s Signature along with a Promise clause will also be visible on the note.
You can also see the “RBI Logo” and all these identifications tell you that you have the original note with you.
#Fact 6: Watermark [Important]
Now, Let’s find another interesting identification mark on a 500 note.
If you notice there is a blank space on the right side of the signature.
Right..!
If you observe that space, you can see Shri. Mahatma Gandhi’s photo can be visible transparently. And also, the note’s value of Rs.500/- will also appear as Watermark.
Do remember this.
