What to do with 2000 Rupees notes?
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced that the 2000 rupee notes will be withdrawn from circulation from September 30, 2023. However, the notes will continue to be legal tender and can be deposited or exchanged at any bank branch until that date.
There are a few things that you can do with your Rs 2,000 notes:
- You can deposit them into your bank account.
- You can exchange them for other denominations of banknotes at any bank branch.
- You can exchange them at any of the 19 RBI Regional Offices that have Issue Departments.
If you do not deposit or exchange your Rs 2,000 notes by September 30, 2023, they will no longer be valid and you will not be able to use them.
Here are some additional details about the withdrawal of Rs 2,000 notes:
- The withdrawal of Rs 2,000 notes is part of the RBI’s clean note policy. This policy aims to ensure that there are only good-quality banknotes in circulation.
- The RBI has advised people to deposit or exchange their Rs 2,000 notes as soon as possible. This will help to avoid any inconvenience or delays.
- The RBI has also said that it will not charge any fees for depositing or exchanging Rs 2,000 notes.
- The Rs 2,000 note was introduced in November 2016, after the government demonetized the Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. The objective of introducing the Rs 2,000 note was to meet the currency requirement of the economy in an expeditious manner.
- The RBI has said that the Rs 2,000 note was not being commonly used for transactions. This is likely because the note is a high-value denomination and people are more likely to use lower-value notes for everyday transactions.
- The RBI has also said that the printing of Rs 2,000 notes was stopped in 2018-19. This is likely because the RBI has been able to meet the currency requirement of the economy with the help of lower-value notes.
