RBI Governor Urges Banks to Prepare for Rs 2000 Banknote Exchange
Das stated, “Banks have been urged to make the necessary preparations for the exchange of Rs 2,000 bank notes.” As part of the RBI’s clean note policy, I have removed the Rs 2,000 note from circulation. I want to reassure everyone—including Indians living abroad—that we would be considerate of any challenges you may encounter when exchanging or depositing your Rs. 2,000 notes. You shouldn’t be concerned, Shaktikanta Das assured the media. Das claimed in his interview with the media that there had previously been some resistance among retailers to accept Rs 2,000 banknotes, and that this resistance may have grown as a result of the withdrawal. The withdrawal of Rs 2,000 banknotes is an element of currency management, thus we anticipate the majority of them returning to the exchequer by September 30.

The Story of Rs 2000 Banknotes in India
The RBI released a statement on Friday that read, “The Rs 2000 denomination banknote was introduced in November 2016 under Section 24(1) of RBI Act, 1934, primarily to meet the currency requirement of the economy quickly following the withdrawal of legal tender status from all Rs 500 and Rs 1000 banknotes in circulation at that time. After sufficient supplies of notes in other denominations became available, the goal of launching Rs 2000 banknotes was achieved. So, in 2018–19, production of Rs 2000 banknotes was halted. The Reserve Bank of India has decided to remove the Rs 2000 denomination banknotes from circulation in accordance with its “Clean Note Policy.” The Rs. 2000 banknotes will still be accepted as legal money.
