The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Thursday said that it has not issued any warning related to fake serial numbers of banknotes.

Apropos the rumors circulating on social media and being attributed to the State Bank, regarding circulation of Rs 500, 1000 and 5000 banknotes with fake serial numbers, the SBP categorically rejects all such rumors and requests the general public to pay no heed to such disinformation.

The SBP has not issued any such warning to the general public.

The general public is therefore advised not to pay heed to any such rumors which are aimed at creating unnecessary hype and anxiety.
