sorry for my illiteracy on currency notes, but we seldom see such "abnormal changes" formally implemented by the govt mints in Asia. I did see a couple of years ago some euro bills with some additional art work, this was however done by an artist and not by the ECB.

Matter of personal taste I'd say...I don't see anything wrong if the central bank is trying something new to make banknotes / coins look better... ;)

Isn't this a type of error. Are we saying all new notes are going to be printed this way?

Since Kishore Jhunjhunwala posted this, I believe this change will be implemented sooner or later on all notes. Also, I don' think this is an error, I have seen few other countries where numbers are printed in this fashion.

Rs. 100 Currency Notes Will Now Come With Extra Security Feature
Thursday, 25 June 2015
Mumbai, June 25:
With an enhanced security feature, currency notes of Rs. 100 denomination would now come with numerals in ascending size in the number panels, Reserve Bank said today.
RBI has issued Rs. 100 denomination banknotes in Mahatma Gandhi Series - 2005 with this type of new numbering pattern.
Now the numerals in both the number panels of these banknotes will be in ascending size from left to right, while the first three alphanumeric characters (prefix) will remain constant in size, RBI said in a release.
"Printing the numerals in ascending size is a visible security feature in the banknotes so that the general public can easily distinguish a counterfeit note from a genuine one," RBI said.
The design of banknotes with numerals in ascending size is similar in all other respects to the current design of Rs. 100 banknotes in Mahatma Gandhi Series - 2005 except for the new numbering pattern.
Further, all the banknotes in the denomination of Rs100 issued by the RBI in the past will continue to be legal tender, it said.
The new numbering pattern will be introduced in a phased manner in all other denominations, RBI said.

Thanks ... I initially though this was some kind of error.
I don't know how does it add 'additional security' to banknotes...Are these patterns hard to print? Need any extra technology? ???
Aditya
Yes, the number printing machine requires all six wheels to be of different sizes. The printing wheels are high technology ( metallurgically) items.
Also since the wheels are of different sizes, they cannot be on same axis and still present flat faces to gather, this the mechanical design is totally different.

Sorry, are numbers still being impact printed? I thought impact printing for numbers was discontinued quite sometime back and its now screen printed?
... Hence if you take the current currency notes and feel the numbers, atleast I don't get an sensation on the back side, where as on older notes I could clearly feel the numbers on back ...
The last time I checked up, I was told that number printer was the main obstacle in going above six digit numbers. World over, many countries have seven digit numbers but countries with impact printers, can not go above six digits.
If this has changed recently, then I am not updated.

Bit off-topic: Not only banknotes but also train tickets (platform tickets, suburban railway tickets and may be express tickets too) will now have the telescopic numbering system... 8)

Humm that is very interesting
Who prints railway tickets? Railways must be having their own printing facility, considering that they have to print billions of tickets every year?

₹50 banknotes with telescopic numbering system also out now. 8)

The implementation is in phased manner, with plates bearing the older and new running in parallel. This starts with some insets and when the new plates are being done, they introduce new features. So we have mix of items. Even 3 variations for same year / inset. Normal, with Telescopic and with Telescopic and bleed lines.
Thank you Dheer. This helps me in collecting the inset/prefix/year collection :)
Missing square identification mark. is this an error? i have got similar 20 rs note also where the identification mark is missing.

Looks like you are not keeping pace with RBI >:D
The design for Rs 20 and Rs 50 has been modified. The identification mark, Intaligo printing and some other features have been removed. Read this at other thread http://www.worldofcoins.eu/forum/index.php/topic,36643.msg231225.html#msg231225
So this is not an error, but what the new notes will have. As the plates are not yet fully transitioned, one can find both old and revised designs. on Rs 50 [or Rs 20?] in one of the inset/year you have both the designs. Similar to with telescopic / without telescopic for same year/inset.

Yes the New Design were introduced during Rajan's tenor. However they were put into circulation during Patel's tenor.
For Raghuram Rajan we have;
Rs 50 - 2016 No Inset Letter / There is also Older design 2016 No inset
Rs 20 - 2016 No Inset Letter
Rs 20 - 2016 L Inset Letter
For Urijit Patel we have;
Rs 50 - 2016, No Inset Letter
Rs 20 - 2016, L Inset Letter
Rs 20 - 2016, R Inset Letter
Agree not keeping up with pace. Thank you for the info.
