This was formed after corporatization of all nine Mints/ Presses/ Mill which were earlier working under the Ministry of Finance. Printing bank notes involves 2 processes: 1. Making of the blank security paper & 2. Actual printing of the bank notes.

3&4. Bharatiya Reserve Bank Note Mudran Private Limited (Mysore, Karnataka & Salboni, West Bengal): was established by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as its wholly owned subsidiary on 3rd February 1995. It was done to increase the production of bank notes in India to close the gap between the supply and demand for bank notes in the country. Both the presses print 30 billion note pieces per year on a 3-shift basis. For further details visit https://www.brbnmpl.co.in/

We believe papermoney that has no inset, insets A, B, C are from Mysore. Bank notes with insets E, F, G, H are from Nasik. Further, insets M, N, and P are from Dewas. Insets P, Q, R, and S are from Salboni. This has not been confirmed or authenticated by RBI or Government of India. It is our best guess.
