The Indian 20-rupee banknote (Шаблон:Indian Rupee20) is a common denomination of the Indian rupee. The current Шаблон:INR20 banknote in circulation is a part of the Mahatma Gandhi New Series. The Reserve Bank introduced the Шаблон:Indian Rupee20 note in the Mahatma Gandhi New Series in 2019, making it the last denomination to be introduced in the series.[1]
It was first introduced by the Reserve Bank of India in 1972 to contain the cost of production of banknotes in circulation.[2] With the introduction of this banknote, the Reserve Bank started a major redesign of the motif of the Lion Capital Series banknotes.
