Javeed Ahmad, the Director General of Police, wrote to all Superintendents of Police in the state to maintain the records in a web-enabled Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) software prepared by the National Crime Record Bureau (NICB).
The Union Home Ministry has directed state police to maintain such records in the wake of the demonetisation drive of the central government announced on November 8.
In Uttar Pradesh, 107 FIRs were registered in 2015 in connection with cases related to the seizure of FICN and the number stood at 117 this year, according to Ahmad.
In 2015, FICN having a face value of Rs 1.05 crore were seized, and in 2016 face value of the seizure was more than Rs 48.83 lakh.
