The P#107 series spans three RBI governors — Y. V. Reddy, D. Subbarao, and Raghuram Rajan — a tenure that covered the 2008 global financial crisis and India's subsequent tightening cycle. The ₹ symbol variant is the detail worth noting: the Indian rupee sign was officially adopted by the Government of India in July 2010, designed by D. Udaya Kumar, making pre-2010 dated notes in this series the last of the type without it on the reverse.
The entire P#107 series was demonetized on 8 November 2016, when Prime Minister Modi announced the withdrawal of all ₹500 and ₹1000 notes with roughly four hours' notice, rendering an estimated ₹15.44 lakh crore in currency illegal tender overnight.
