Very sorry, you were all wrong.

The answer is....
To combat the corruption and bribery in India, the government printed a Zero Rupee note, which is usable. Ofcourse, it's of no value in the shops, and you would look like a fool for using it. However if you owed money or were doing something bribe-ish, you could just use zero rupee notes with the old "bag full of money" trick, and hopefully, the people who get the money would be less inclined to do that kind of bribery etc again.
In my opinion it wouldn't work, but there you go. Lowest value usable coin or note in India is 0!
