The year of printing 2012 would be on the reverse of the bank note, it added.

"The design of these notes to be issued now is similar in all respects to the Rs 100 bank notes in Mahatma Gandhi Series- 2005, issued earlier," it said.

All the bank notes in the denomination of 100 issued by the bank in the past will continue to be legal tender, it added.
