The Press Information Bureau's Fact Check unit has refuted viral social media claims about a new Rs 1,000 note with a temple design, confirming no such announcement by the RBI. The clarification comes amid recurring rumours about the reintroduction of the ₹1,000 denomination, which was withdrawn from circulation during the demonetisation exercise announced in November. Images of a purported Rs 1,000 yellow currency note have circulated on social media recently.
