Printing of 2000 notes stopped
Recently, in response to a question in the Parliament, the Central Government said that no new order has been placed after 2018-19 for the printing of new 2000 notes. To understand it in simple words, the printing of new 2000 notes has probably been stopped.
Fake notes in circulation
