And  does not contain a code point for the new rupee symbol. 

There is a codepoint for the "Rs" glyps, but that cannot be replaced
with the new rupee symbol because:-

1. That has to be decomposed as "R" and "s", in case the font does not
    ain the "Rs" glyph.

2. There are / may be locales which use the "Rs" rather than the new
   ee Symbol.

Hence, the current discussions on the Unicode mailing lists, AFAI
understand them, is that the new rupee symbol requires a new code
point.
