Claim: Old 500-rupee currency notes having the same serial number but with the signatures of two different RBI governors indicates a scam by the UPA government.
Fact-check: Old Rs.500 notes issued under different RBI Governors can have the same serial number - FACTLY
Verdict: the reserve bank of india  while answering a faq stated that there is a possibility of two or more bank notes having the same serial number but clarified that those identical banknotes would either have a different inset letter or year of printing or signature of a different governor of rbi, which could distinguish the features of old and new currency notes. before the demonetisation in november 2016, rbi continued the legal tender of all banknotes in the denomination of rs.500/- issued from the year 2000. hence, the claim made in the post is false.
