As youa all know major currencies of the world e.g. US Dollar, Pound Sterling, Yen and the Euro have an Identification symbol. That is not the case with Indian Rupee. It is always referred to as INR or Rs. Now Indian Government wants to change it and wants people of India to participate in the competition to design the Symbol of Indian Currency (INR).

You can read more about the guidelines and other rules for the competition at finmin.nic.in

if you are interested in designing the Symbol for Indian Rupee, you will have to send your entries, along with a bank draft of Rs.500/- (Rupees five hundred only). First five entries will be selected and each will be rewarded with Rs. 25,000/-. Final winner will receive the price of Rs 250,000.

What I don't understand is, why government is asking for money from the people who are willing to participate in the competition?

Updates: Design submitted by Soumen Das..

I kind of like it but didn't like the swastika in the symbol. Many countries confuses the Swastika with the Nazzi symbol and we don't want our country to mis-represent in the world.

Some of the symbols submitted by other users are.......

Don J.S.	Sandeep Virmani	Abhijit Sagade	Chetan Hosur
Saurabh Bhola	Omkar Kelkar	Richa Sharma	Rakesh Ramgarhia

There is a lot of controversy going on about the 5 Indian Rupee Symbols that have been shortlisted. I personally don't like them. I'm sharing the one I had designed and which got through the first round but was later not taken up. Would be great to get your feedback on it.
Here is the link to the symbol I designed:

We have submitted the symbol for Indian Rs. We have selected in final and semi final list, it was selected at 172 no. But the final list of 5 person is not correct. The symbol which we have made is best and meaningful also and it is appropiate for symbol.
I am against the Result of RBI, I request to recheck the symbol once again So that the correct symbol is selected. BUDDHASEN ANIL PATEL PATEL

In the matter of:
APPEAL PREFERRED BY SHRI RAKESH KUMAR SINGH AGAINST THE ORDER DATED 7TH JANUARY 2010 OF CPIO, DEA.
ORDER

This appeal has been filed by Shri Rakesh kumar singh against the order dated 7.1.2020 of the CPIO of Department of Economic Affairs.

2. In his application dated 14-12-2009 addressed to the CPIO, the applicant had sought information on 14 points relating to the competition of symbol of Indian rupee. The CPIO furnished the information on 7-1-2010. The appellant is not satisfied with the information furnished on 3 points, i.e. Point No. 1, 4 & 13 and hence this appeal on these points.
3. Comments of CPIO have been invited. The points on which the appellant is not satisfied with the reply of the CPIO and the factual position is discussed in the succeeding paragraphs.
4. In point No.1 of his application, the applicant had asked in information about the name, profession and the home-state of the members of Jury appointed by the Government for finalisation of the design of Indian Rupee. The CPIO furnished the name/designation of the member of the jury along with the organization and place where the organization is located. The information relating to home-state of the member is not maintained and as such this information cannot be provided.
5. In point No.4, the applicant had asked information as to the number of total designs received and out of those how many have been rejected. The CPIO informed him that there were 3,331 eligible entries, out of which 5 Final entries were selected by the Jury. This should satisfy the query of the applicant.
6. In point No. 13, applicant had sought information about the date and mode of information to the contestants about the selection of 5 designs. The CPIO had informed him that final result is yet to be decided. In the comments, CPIO had intimated that the information to the selected contestants was sent on 25-11-2009 through letter. This information was also posted on the website of the Ministry in December 2009. This should satisfy the query of the applicant.
7. In view of above observations, the appeal is disposed off.

There is no need to press the panic button at this stage because a suit can be filed and stay order can be brought from the court even after they declare the winner.

RTI is a best tool to fight bureaucracy and injustice …making an application under RTI and asking for specific information, the department has to furnish the information within 1 month. If the applicant is not happy or all the information asked for is not provided then an appeal lies to appellate authority designated in that department.
Later on this becomes the base for filing a suit in the court.

Stop accusing the gov. because you let them do it this to you ...stand up and act....Now . go and file RTI.... and
