From Rs 500 to Rs 10: ISI shifts fake currency strategy, floods India with counterfeit low-value notesIndian security agencies have detected a shift in counterfeit currency operations, with fake lower denomination notes allegedly replacing earlier Rs 500 counterfeits. Investigators say the circulation of fake Rs 500 notes has declined sharply, pointing to a change in the strategy adopted by the counterfeit currency network. Earlier, the network primarily focused on counterfeiting Rs 200 and Rs 500 notes. Agencies have now found that the emphasis has shifted to lower denominations, with fake Rs 10, Rs 20 and Rs 50 notes being circulated in large numbers. According to the official, the strategy is to circulate fake Rs 10, Rs 20 and Rs 50 notes in much larger volumes than before.
