Whenever we have to buy some goods or run our livelihood, we need money. You use notes ranging from 1 rupee coin to 2 thousand rupees, but now the 2 thousand rupee note is going to go out of circulation. In fact, in May 2023, the Reserve Bank of India i.e. RBI announced that now it will withdraw the Rs 2,000 note. For this, the date of 30 September 2023 was also fixed, but now it has been extended again. In such a situation, if you still have notes worth Rs 2,000, then let us know when you can get them returned and what is the process. You can know about this further...
Last date extended
As the last date for depositing Rs 2,000 notes in banks was 30 September 2023, but now it has been extended to 7 October 2023. In such a situation, you still have 5 more days to exchange Rs 2,000 notes.
Where and how much money can you exchange?
If you still have Rs 2,000 notes, you can go to your nearest bank and get them exchanged. For this, it is not necessary that you have to go to the same bank where you have an account, rather you can go to any nearby bank and get these Rs 2,000 notes exchanged.
According to RBI rules, you will be able to change only a maximum amount of Rs 20 thousand at a time. A separate counter was arranged for this in the bank, where you can easily get the notes exchanged.
What will happen after October 7?
The Reserve Bank said in its statement that the last date for exchanging the Rs 2,000 note is October 7, 2023. Even after this, if someone is left with a Rs 2,000 note, it will remain just a piece of paper. However, it was also said by RBI that even after October 7, these notes can be exchanged but not in banks. Rather, for this, you will have to visit 19 regional offices of RBI.
