  • How likely is it that you have a fake note resting in your wallet? With counterfeit notes worth Rs. 11.23 crore detected across India in the first eight months post demonetization, the probability of it is unmissable.

    Here, we answer all these questions and more.

    Why should you know how to identify fake currency notes?

    Why should you know how to identify fake currency notes?
  • If a bank impounds more than five fake notes from you in one transaction, it is bound to get an FIR registered against you.

    Also, every counterfeit note identified by the bank will neither be credited to your account nor returned to you.

    If dispensed a fake note by an ATM, you can raise an inquiry only if you spot it at the kiosk.

    What if you get a fake note from an ATM?

    What if you get a fake note from an ATM?
  • Check the banknotes before you leave the booth. If you find that you have been dispensed a counterfeit note, show it to the CCTV, keep the receipt and file a complaint with the ATM guard.

    You may have to take up the matter with the bank, the RBI, and the police if need be. The chances to get a compensation is however remote.
