Recent rumors on social media claimed that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) prohibited using black ink for writing cheques. However, these claims have been debunked by the RBI and the Press Information Bureau (PIB).
The RBI clarified that it has not issued any guidelines banning the use of black ink for cheques. This misinformation spread rapidly, causing confusion among cheque users across the country. In fact, the PIB conducted a fact-check and confirmed that the RBI has not prescribed any specific ink colors for writing cheques.
This rumor originated from an unverified social media post, which led to widespread speculation and concern. The RBI emphasized the importance of relying on official information and urged the public to avoid spreading unverified claims that can cause unnecessary panic.
The RBI also reassured the public that such guidelines would always be communicated through official channels and advised people to check the RBI’s website or official announcements for accurate information.
By addressing these rumors, the RBI aims to ensure clarity and prevent further public confusion. The institution highlighted the need for vigilance against misinformation and encouraged people to verify the authenticity of news before believing or sharing it.
In conclusion, there is no ban on using black ink for writing cheques, and consumers can continue using it as they have been.
