Will Rs. 2000 currency note really come with A GPS chip? Or it is just a rumor?

The notion that the Rs. 2000 currency notes in India are embedded with a Nano-GPS chip (NGC) is entirely a rumor and not based on any factual evidence.

Multiple sources, including official statements from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), have clearly dismissed these claims. Here are some key points:

• The RBI has explicitly stated that there is no such technology as a Nano-GPS chip in the new Rs. 2000 notes124.
• The rumors circulating on social media and WhatsApp about the NGC technology, which supposedly allows tracking of the notes even 120 meters below ground level, have been labeled as false and baseless124.
• Official announcements and press releases from the RBI and the Finance Ministry do not mention any tracking or GPS features in the new currency notes24.

Therefore, the idea of Rs. 2000 notes having a GPS chip is a hoax with no basis in reality.
