NEW RUPEE SYMBOL


Indian Rupee is soon going to have distinct identity like Euro, Pound, Dollar and Yen. The Indian cabinet has approved the new symbol of Indian Rupee. The new symbol is the blend of Devenagri Script “Ra” and Roman script “R”.

This new Rupee symbol has been designed by a Post Graduate student of the Department of Design at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati. The new symbol can easily be incorporated in the existing software system, typewriters and computer keyboards.

However, there is no immediate plan to introduce the symbol in new currency.
