The Indian rupee is the official currency of India. The rupee is subdivided into 100 paise (singular: paisa), though as of 2019, coins of denomination of 1 rupee is the lowest value in use. The issuance of the currency is controlled by the Reserve Bank of India. The Reserve Bank manages currency in India and derives its role in currency management on the basis of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934.

On 8 November 2016, the Government of India announced the demonetisation of ₹500 and ₹1,000 banknotes with effect from midnight of the same day, making these notes invalid. A newly redesigned series of ₹500 banknote, in addition to a new denomination of ₹2,000 banknote is in circulation since 10 November 2016. The ₹1,000 note has been suspended.

On 25 August 2017, a new denomination of ₹200 banknote was added to the Indian currency structure to fill the gap of notes due to high demand for this note after demonetisation.

In July 2018, the Reserve Bank of India released the redesigned series of ₹100 banknote.
