- 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.
