Reserve Bank of India on Saturday said it would shortly issue new notes of Rs 10 in the 'Mahatma Gandhi' series with capital letter 'M' inset in the numbering panel bearing the signature of governor Bimal Jalan.

Except for the change in inset letter, the design of the Rs 10 note to be issued now is similar in all respects to those issued earlier in the 'Mahatma Gandhi' series, a RBI release said.
