New Delhi: Reserve Bank of India has decided to withdraw the Rs. 2000 denomination banknotes from circulation. However the banknotes in Rs 2000 denomination will continue to be legal tender.
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 in an expeditious manner after the withdrawal of legal tender status of all Rs 500 and Rs 1000 banknotes in circulation at that time.
