After demonetising the existing Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes the goverment has introduced new Rs 500 and Rs 2,000 currency notes.
With most people seeing these notes for the first time, there's hardly a way to tell it apart from the possible fake currency.
Amidst the uncertainty, a new augmented reality app 'Modi Keynote' has popped up.
The Android app can scan a Rs 2000 or Rs 500 note and overlay Modi's "inspiring" speech on a bill. If a user places a new currency notes in front of the camera, it scans the currency note and then play a video of the PM Modi on top of the note.
While there's nothing wrong with this Android app, many people have been falsely circulating it as a way to authenticate Rs 2000 currency bill. However, that's not the case.
For starters, the app or developer is in no way affiliated with the Indian government. Moreover, the Bangalore-based developer has clearly mentioned in the Play Store that, "People of India support our honorable Prime minister Modi Ji on the demonetization drive. Note: This app is just for fun."
So, if you cherish seeing our Prime Minister Narendra Modi eclipse Gandhi on the currency, download the app by all means. Just don't use it to check whether the notes are genuine.
