The Indian 1000-rupee banknote (₹1000) is an obsolete denomination of the Indian rupee. It was first introduced by the Reserve Bank of India in 1938 under British rule and subsequently demonetized in 1946. Post-independence, the denomination was re-introduced in 1954. In January 1978, all high-denomination banknotes of ₹1000,5000, and 10000 were demonetized in order to curb unaccounted cash money.[1][2]
In order to contain the volume of banknotes in circulation due to inflation, the ₹1000 banknote was again re-introduced in November 2000, under the government of
Mahatma Gandhi Series
Design
The ₹1000 banknote of the Mahatma Gandhi Series is 177 × 73 mm pink-red coloured, with the obverse side featuring a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi with the signature of the governor of Reserve Bank of India. It had a Braille feature to assist the visually challenged in identifying the currency. The reverse side featured the motif of an oil rig, a satellite and a steel foundry, all together featuring the Economy of India.
As of 2011, the new ₹ sign had been incorporated into banknotes of ₹1000.[3] In January 2014, RBI announced that it would be withdrawing from circulation all banknotes printed prior to 2005 by 31 March 2014. The deadline was later extended to 1 January 2015, and then again to 30 June 2016.[4] Denomination of ₹1,000 notes cost was ₹3.54.

The security features of the ₹1000 banknote included:[5]
- A windowed security thread that read 'भारत' (Bharat in the Devanagari script) and 'RBI' alternately.
- Latent image of the value of the banknote on the vertical band next to the right hand side of Mahatma Gandhi’s portrait.
- Mahatma Gandhithat is a mirror-image of the main portrait.
- The number panel of the banknote was printed in embedded fluorescentfibres and optically variable ink.
- Since 2005, additional security features (including machine-readable security thread, electrotype watermark, and year of print) appear on the bank note.
Discontinuation
On 8 November 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that "Starting from midnight 8th November 2016 all ₹1000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi Series will not be accepted as a form of legal tender", although new ₹500 and ₹2000 banknotes of the new Mahatma Gandhi New Series were unveiled.[6]
