It has been decided by the Government of India
and the RBI to introduce one billion pieces of Rs. 10 notes in polymer/plastic
on a field trial basis. The field trial will be conducted in five cities viz.
Kochi, Mysore, Jaipur, Bhubaneswar and Shimla with varied geographical
locations and climatic conditions.
Reserve Bank of India has informed that while
the primary objective of introduction of polymer notes is to increase its life,
it could also help in combating counterfeiting.
This was stated by Minister of State for
Finance, Shri Namo Narain Meena in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha
today.
