Tiktok and other social media platforms continue to circulate misleading videos, with the latest example featuring a fake Rs1,000 note.

Clips showing the alleged redesigned currency note have taken the internet by storm, sparking widespread speculation and confusion. A video featuring the fake note gained over 10 million views in just 24 hours.

The clips led many users to believe that the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has officially issued a new note. 

Users soon started to question its authenticity, reposting the clip and asking if the note has actually been redesigned.

Amid growing speculation, a social media user named blogsbyusama stepped forward to clarify that he designed the note for a project in 2024 and that it had nothing to do with the state bank. Despite his admission, the video continued to spread without verification, misleading millions.

In response, SBP issued a statement saying that if any new note is ever introduced, the public will be informed through official channels. They also urged the country to not rely on unverified information and depend upon official sources for updates related to the national currency of Pakistan.
