in Mumbai

Mumbai is where India’s currency management is set and where a large share of it is run. The RBI is headquartered in the city, most large banks operate their treasury and currency functions from here, and the cash management companies that service ATMs and branches across western India run processing floors in and around the metropolitan region.

At street level the city runs on physical notes. Zaveri Bazaar, Bhuleshwar, Crawford Market and the Dadar retail belt handle volumes where notes arrive mixed and heavily worn, and where one counterfeit five hundred rupee note absorbed at the counter is a direct loss. Maharashtra also carries the largest urban cooperative banking sector in India, and those branches face the same RBI sorting obligations as scheduled commercial banks with far less back office to absorb them.

A Maxsell sorter runs authentication, denomination sorting and fitness sorting in the same pass as the count, so unfit notes go back to the currency chest, fit notes go back into circulation, and the shift leaves an auditable record instead of a tally sheet.
