Government’s new directive that all the 500 and 1000 rupees notes that are currently in circulation will not be considered a legal tender effective midnight ,the 8th November 2016 , has been widely regarded as a historic move to combat the circulation and curbing of Counterfeit currencies.

Old High Denomination Bank Notes may be deposited by individuals/persons into their bank accounts and/or exchanged in bank branches or Issue Offices of RBI till the close of business hours on 30th December, 2016.
