2010-11. However, the total value of these notes was more in the year 2011-12
than the year 2010-11.
The government has also
constituted a Terror Funding and Fake Currency Cell (TFFC) in NIA in 2010 to
focus on investigation of Terror Funding and Fake Currency Cases. Reserve
Bank of India (RBI) has also strengthened the mechanism for detection of
counterfeit notes by the banks.

written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha.
