PATNA: With the installation of a modern currency verification and processing machine at the Patna office of Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the city is now one of the five centres across the country to have the mechanized facility to process soiled notes.
The machine was inaugurated by RBI regional director M K Singh. RBI deputy general manager Aditya Kishwar said the bank has adopted a ‘clean note policy’ to promote circulation of quality currency notes. For this, constant withdrawal of soiled notes from circulation is necessary, he said and added the mechanized system can process one lakh notes in an hour.
