Here is how to check if your Rs 500 note is genuine or fake - Check RBI document

The Government of India's PIB Fact Check team on its Twitter handle has busted a fake news related to Rs 500. 

PIB Fact Check on its Twitter handle - @PIBFactCheck - has said that it has been claimed in a message that the Rs 500 note that carries green strip near Gandhiji's photo, instead of RBI Governor signature, is fake. 

RBI has clarified that this is a claim is fake, and as per RBI, both the kind of Rs 500 notes are genuine and valid. 

एक मैसेज में यह दावा किया जा रहा है कि ₹500 का वह नोट नकली है जिसमें हरी पट्टी आरबीआई गवर्नर के सिग्नेचर के पास ना होकर गांधीजी की तस्वीर के पास होती है।#PIBFactCheck

यह दावा #फ़र्ज़ी है।
@RBI के अनुसार दोनों ही तरह के नोट मान्य होते हैं।
