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 ₹ 10,000 were demonetized in order to curb unaccounted cash money. In order to contain the volume of banknotes in circulation due to inflation, the ₹ 1000 banknote was again re-introduced in November 2000, as a part of the Mahatma Gandhi Series of banknotes ; these were demonetized on 8 November 2016 by the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, with the claimed reasons of preventing the issue of counterfeit currency and to fight corruption and black money in India.
