Finally let us study the Request pattern of RBI for printing of Bank Notes (Indent) , the supplies made against the Indent by the Security Printing presses etc to get more clarity on the requirement of Bank Notes and to understand how much Paper Currency is released, and how much demand for printing Bank Notes are raised by RBI after analyzing various factors as discussed in pre parts. The following Sample survey table show 'Total Quantum of Bank Notes in all denominations' Indented by RBI and as Supplied by the presses against the Indent during the period 2003-2014.
(Ref: Graph prepared based on figures taken from the
RBI Annual Reports pertaining to different years )
Once
the Indents are received, the presses supplied around 85 % to 90 % of
Bank Notes in various denominations against the Indent except two or
three years when they could supply to the full quantity Indented. The
reasons for the short supplies by the presses are many which should not
be explained in detail. Therefore we leave this aspect lie there.
During many years the Indent and Supply has not matched. The supplies
from the Security Printing Presses against the requirement of RBI has
always been less except in the year 2009-10 when the supplies
marginally exceeded the requirement.

RBI Annual Reports pertaining to different years )
The following table show the 'Quantum of Bank Notes in individual denominations' Indented by RBI and Supplied by the presses during the same period as shown above i.e for 2003-2014.
