  • RBI confirmed that, a Rs 500 banknote with a star (*) symbol is identical to any other legal banknote and it is genuine.
  • The asterisk (*) was introduced on the new 500 banknotes in December 2016.
  • The Star symbol is an identifier that it is a replaced/reprinted banknote.
  • This practice was introduced earlier with Rs 10, 20, 50, and 100 banknotes, even before 2016.
  • These banknotes are to replace defectively printed banknotes during the printing process.
