Rs 2000 notes to remain legal tender even after September 30
Let us inform you that after the demonetization in the year 2016, the Reserve Bank of India issued new notes of 2000 rupees. At that time, the government had banned the old Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes. Out of all the Rs 2000 notes printed by the RBI, 89 percent of the notes were printed till March 2017. RBI said that the withdrawal of Rs 2000 notes will not cause any problem with cash flow in the market as there are enough Rs 500 notes in circulation. Not only this, but Shaktikanta Das had also said that even after September 30, the Rs 2000 note will remain legal tender.
