FAQs on RBI Notification regarding withdrawal of existing
Bank Notes in the denominations of Rs. 500/- & Rs. 1000/-
1. Why is this scheme introduced?
The incidence of fake Indian currency notes in higher
denomination has increased. For ordinary persons, the fake notes look similar to
genuine notes, even though no security feature has been copied. The fake notes
are used for antinational and illegal activities. High denomination notes have
been misused by terrorists and for hoarding black money. India remains a cash
based economy hence the circulation of Fake Indian Currency Notes continues to
be a menace. In order to contain the rising incidence of fake notes and black
money, the scheme to withdraw has been introduced.
2. What is this scheme?
The legal tender character of the existing bank notes in
denominations of Rs.500 and Rs.1000 issued by the Reserve bank of India till

transacting business and/or store of value for future usage. These Bank Notes
can be exchanged for value at any of the 19 offices of the Reserve Bank of India
or at any of the bank branches or at any Head Post Office or Sub-Post Office.
3. How much value will I get?
You will get value for the entire volume of notes tendered at the bank
branches / RBI offices.
4. Can I get all in cash?
No. You will get upto Rs.4000 per person in cash irrespective of the size of
tender and anything over and above that will be receivable by way of credit to
bank account.
5. Why I cannot get the entire amount in cash when I have surrendered
