early 19th-century east india company rupees were used in australia for a limited period. decimalisation occurred in ceylon (sri lanka) in 1969, in india in 1957, and in pakistan in 1961. since 1957 an indian rupee is divided into 100 paise. the decimalized paisa was originally officially named 'naya paisa' meaning the "new paisa" to distinguish it from the erstwhile paisa which had a higher value of rupee. the word 'naya' was dropped in 1964 and since then it is simply known as paisa ("pl". paise). the issuance of the indian currency is controlled by the reserve bank of india, whereas in pakistan it is controlled by state bank of pakistan. the most commonly used symbol for the rupee is "rs". india adopted a new symbol () for the indian rupee on 15 july 2010.
