The Indian 1000-rupee banknote (1000) is a denomination of Indian currency. It was first introduced by the Reserve Bank of India in 1954. In January 1978, all high-denomination banknotes (1000, 5000, and 10,000) were demonetised to curb unaccounted money.^[2][3] In order to contain the volume of banknotes in circulation due to inflation the banknote was reintroduced in 2000.

Security features

The security features of the 1000-rupee banknote includes a windowed security thread that reads 'भारत' (Bharat in the Devanagari script), "1000" and "RBI". It also includes latent image of the value of the banknote on the vertical band next to the right-hand side of Mahatma Gandhi’s portrait. The white field contains a watermark of Mahatma Gandhi that is a mirror-image of the main portrait. In addition, the number panel of the banknote is printed in fluorescent and optically variable ink and the paper contains embedded fluorescent fibers. Since 2005 additional security features like machine-readable security thread, electrotype watermark, and year of print appears on the bank note.
