Summary: On 19 May 2023, the RBI issued a circular withdrawing Rs.2000 notes from circulation. Individuals with these notes can deposit or exchange them at their banks by 30 September 2023. Here’s how IDFC FIRST Bank can help.
The Rs.2000 denomination banknote was introduced under Section 24(1) of the RBI Act, 1934 mainly to meet the urgent currency requirements of the economy after the Rs.500 and Rs.1000 banknotes were withdrawn from legal tender in November 2016. Soon after meeting this objective and after banknotes in other denominations became more readily available, the printing of Rs.2000 banknotes was stopped in 2018-19. Now, in accordance with the "Clean Note Policy" of the Reserve Bank of India, the Rs.2000 denomination banknotes will be withdrawn from circulation, though they will continue to be legal tender.
Read on to understand what this means for you and how IDFC FIRST Bank can help replace your old currency without breaking a sweat.
The RBI has issued directives for individuals owning Rs.2000 banknotes. According to the circular, you have two options –
There's no limit if you are depositing the banknotes into your account.
In the case of an exchange, however, there is a limit. According to the RBI direction, you can exchange notes up to Rs.20,000 at a time.
Deposits can be made into your savings bank account or current account.
In addition, you can exchange Rs.2000 notes up to Rs.20,000 at a time at any bank's branch, whether you are a customer or not.
The exchange facility is also available through business correspondents. However, in such cases, the limit is restricted to Rs.4000 per day per account holder.
Furthermore, the note exchange facility for other denominations in India is also available at the RBI's Regional Offices with Issue Departments. Currently, 19 RBI offices will facilitate the exchange.
You can start depositing your Rs.2000 notes immediately into your account until 30 September 2023. The facility for exchanging them starts from 23 May 2023 and ends on 30 September 2023.
