The present monetary system of India is based on Inconvertible Paper Currency and is managed by the RBI. The present currency system is based on minimum reserve system of note issue. It was adopted in 1957, under the minimum reserve system, minimum of gold and foreign securities to the extent of Rs. 200 Crore (of which gold should be of value Rs. 115 Crore) and the balance in rupee securities is maintained.

Some Important Points  you should know
  • The symbol of India Rupee "INR" came into vague on 15th July 2010.
  • The new symbol "INR" is an amalgamation of Devanagari "र" and the Roman "R" without the stem.
  • The new symbol was designed by D. Udaya Kumar, a post graduate of IIT Bombay. 
  • Though the symbol "INR" will not be printed or embossed on currency notes or coins, it would be included in the "Unicode Standard" and major scripts of the world to ensure that it is easily displaced and printed in the electronic and print media. 
  • RBI working group on money supply headed by Y. V. Reddy recommended for dropping of post office saving deposits. Accordingly, there are now only three monetary aggregates. Those are M1, M2 and M3.
  • The revised monetary measures are 
    • M1 = Coins and Notes + Demand Deposits + Other Deposits with RBI
    • M2 = M1 + Time liabilities proportion of Saving deposits with banks + Certificates of deposits issued by Banks + Term deposit maturing within a year.
    • M3 = M2+Terms deposit with banks with maturity over 1 year + call / term borrowing of the banking system.
  • Coins are minted at four places. Those are,
    1. Mumbai
    2. Kolkata
    3. Hyderabad
    4. Noida
