Udaya Kumar Dharmalingam born on 10 October 1978 in kallakurichi is the designer of the Indian rupee sign.
Amalgamation of Hindi and English:
The symbol is designed using the Devanagari letter ‘Ra’ and Roman capital letter ‘R’. The letters are derived from the word 'Rupiah' in 'Hindi' and 'Rupees' in 'English' both denote the currency of India.

Shrio Rekha:
The use of shrio rekha (the horizontal line) in Devanagari script is unique to India.
The symbol preserves this unique and essential feature of our Indian script which is not seen in any other script in the world.
Tricolor:
The two horizontal lines with equal negative white space (imaginary space) between them create a background effect of three strips (tricolor).
The strips subtly represents the tricolor of our Indian National flag flying at the top.
