The Reserve Bank of India was barely five years old when this note was issued, having been established in 1935 to take over currency functions from the Controller of Currency. The 1000 Rupee denomination was a high-value instrument — at a time when annual wages for many Indians were well below that figure, these notes moved primarily between banks, merchants, and government treasuries rather than through ordinary commerce.
Printing at Nasik had begun in 1928 under the Government of India press, making it one of the few colonial-era security printers operating on Indian soil rather than in Britain. By 1939, the facility was producing notes for the newly sovereign central bank, though British oversight remained intact throughout the war years.
The 1000 Rupee denomination was demonetized in January 1946 — notes of this series were withdrawn with little warning.
