"The RBI will shortly issue Rs 500 denomination banknotes incorporating rupee symbol on the obverse and reverse, with inset letter 'R' in both the numbering panels, in the Mahatma Gandhi Series-2005," RBI said in a notification.
The banknotes would be bearing the signature of RBI governor Raghuram G Rajan and the year of printing '2013'
