Earlier there used to be 5 thousand rupee notes
It is not that there have never been 5000 rupee notes in India. 5000 rupee notes were first printed in the country in 1938, when the British ruled. Later it was discontinued in 1946. However, after independence, 5000 rupee notes were printed again in the country in 1954 and it was printed by the government of independent India. But, in 1978, 5000, 1000 and 10000 notes were withdrawn.
