5000 Rupees Note : New notes introduced after demonetization
During the demonetization period, the ₹1000 and ₹500 notes were discontinued across the country. After this move, the RBI introduced the ₹2000 note. However, a few years later, the RBI also decided to discontinue the ₹2000 notes. Now once again, a viral claim is circulating on social media stating that the RBI will soon introduce a new ₹5000 note. Along with the claim, a picture of the alleged note is also going viral. But the RBI’s update has now clarified the truth.
PIB issues clarification regarding the ₹5000 note
The Press Information Bureau (PIB) has issued a clarification about the viral claims regarding the ₹5000 note. In a social media post, the PIB confirmed that the RBI has not issued any such note. The viral news is completely false.
Currently, only ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100, ₹500, and ₹2000 notes are legally valid in India. Since 2023, the RBI has stopped printing ₹2000 notes and urged people to deposit them in banks.
Viral post claiming “5000 Rupees New Note”

India once had a ₹5000 note in the past
Interestingly, India did have a ₹5000 note in earlier times. The first ₹5000 note was printed in 1938 during British rule, but it was discontinued in 1946. After independence, India again issued ₹5000 notes in 1954. However, in 1978, the government demonetized the ₹5000, ₹1000, and ₹10000 notes. Since then, no such high-denomination notes have been printed again.
