Launch of Mobile Aided Note Identifier (MANI) by RBI
 RBI Governor today launched the “Mobile Aided Note Identifier (MANI)”, a mobile 
application for aiding visually impaired persons to identify the denomination of Indian 
Banknotes.
 Indian banknotes contain several features which enable the visually impaired (colour 
blind, partially sighted and blind people) to identify them, viz., intaglio printing and tactile 
mark, variable banknote size, large numerals, variable colour, monochromatic hues and 
patterns. Technological progress has opened up new opportunities for making Indian 
banknotes more accessible for the visually impaired, thereby facilitating their day to day 
transactions. As announced in the Statement on Developmental and Regulatory Policies 
of June 6, 2018, the Bank has developed a mobile application, MANI, with the following 
features:
a) Capable of identifying the denominations of Mahatma Gandhi Series and Mahatma 
Gandhi (New) series banknote by checking front or reverse side/part of the note 
including half folded notes at various holding angles and broad range of light 
conditions (normal light/day light/low light/ etc.). 
b) Ability to identify the denomination through audio notification in Hindi/English and 
non-sonic mode such as vibration (suitable for those with vision and hearing 
impairment). 
c) After installation, the mobile application does not require internet and works in offline 
mode.
d) Ability to navigate the mobile application via voice controls for accessing the 
application features wherever the underlying device & operating system combination 
supports voice enabled controls.
e) The application is free and can be downloaded from the Android Play Store and iOS
App Store without any charges/payment.
f) This mobile application does not authenticate a note as being either genuine or counterfeit.
