The RBI has said that the Rs 2,000 bank notes (2,000 Rupee Note) are now discontinued. But if you have them, you will have to go to the bank and get them changed. You can go to the bank and get these notes exchanged. The Rs 2,000 note has been withdrawn from circulation, the RBI said in a release on Friday. But it will remain legal tender. The Rs 2,000 note was introduced in November 2016.
The Rs 2,000 note was brought under Section 24 (1) of the RBI Act, These notes were introduced due to currency requirements after the discontinuation of the old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. The objective of bringing in two thousand rupees had been lost after the second note came into circulation in sufficient quantity. Therefore, printing of Rs 2,000 banknotes was stopped in 2018-19.
You can exchange the Rs 2,000 notes from May 23, 2023 at banks. However, to ensure operational convenience, the RBI has said that only Rs 20,000 can be deposited at a time.
