The RBI is considering introducing plastic (polymer) currency notes, but no final decision has been announced yet.
✅ Polymer notes are made from a special plastic material & are much more durable than paper notes.
✅ These notes are water-resistant, stay cleaner & do not wear out easily.
✅ Polymer notes can last 2–5 times longer than regular paper currency, reducing replacement costs.
✅ They come with advanced security features, making counterfeiting much more difficult.
✅ More than 30 countries, including Australia, Canada, the UK & New Zealand, already use polymer banknotes.
✅ If implemented, this could become one of the biggest changes to India’s cash system in decades.
