The RBI had announced the withdrawal of the Rs 2,000 currency on May 19. While the note continues to be legal tender, the bank has said the existing notes can be deposited or exchanged in banks from May 23 to September 30, but set a limit of “Rs 20,000 at a time”.

The RBI had also advised banks to stop issuing Rs 2,000 notes with immediate effect, in its May 19 notification. The bank said this move comes under its ‘Clean Note Policy’, which ensures “availability of good quality banknotes to the members of public”.
