in full or in part when held against any light source. Now in CTS, in addition to our
bank watermark, a standardized watermark, with the words CTS-INDIA will appear
in all the cheque leaves. This watermark will be in oval shape with diameter 2.6 to 3.0
cms. As such both the water marks ie., our Bank water mark and CTS water mark will
be available in all CTS cheque leaves which can be seen when held against any light
source.
ii. VOID pantograph: Pantograph with hidden/embedded VOID" feature shall
be included in all cheques. The feature will not be visible in scanned image at the
resolution specified in CTS but will be clearly visible in photocopies and scanned
colour images. This would act as a deterrent against colour photocopy or
scanned colour images of a cheque.

printed in ultra violet (UV) ink on the top of the cheque, after the branch name. The logo

solid line. All the three solid lines appear in our CTS cheques are micro printed (in tiny
fonts) with our banks name in continuation ie., CANARABANKCANARABANK. This is not
easily visible/
recognizable without the use of a magnifying glass. In addition to this, back ground

100 NOTES TO COME WITH NUMERALS IN ASCENDING SIZE IN NUMBER


PANELS

Canara Bank
Staff Training college , Bangalore

The Reserve Bank of India has issued 100 denomination banknotes in Mahatma Gandhi
Series 2005 with a new numbering pattern. Now the numerals in both the number panels of
these banknotes will be in ascending size from left to right, while the first three alphanumeric
characters (prefix) will remain constant in size. Printing the numerals in ascending size is a
visible security feature in the banknotes so that the general public can easily distinguish a
counterfeit note from a genuine one. The design of banknotes with numerals in ascending size
is similar in all other respects to the current design of T100 banknotes in Mahatma Gandhi
Series 2005 except for the new numbering pattern. The banknotes will continue to have "T"
symbol on the obverse and the reverse, an inset letter 'R' in both the numbering panels, bear
the signature of Dr. Raghuram G. Rajan, Governor, Reserve Bank of India, and the year of
printing '2015' printed on the reverse of the banknotes. The new numbering pattern will be
introduced in a phased manner in all other denominations.
