It was decided to take it out of circulation in May
RBI had announced the withdrawal of Rs 2,000 notes in May last year. This note was issued for the first time at the time of demonetization in November 2016. RBI had said that the decision to withdraw Rs 2,000 notes was taken because most of these notes have completed their expected life span and people are also not using them much in transactions.
More than 97.38 percent of the Rs 2,000 notes in circulation by May 2023 have been withdrawn. Although now exchange or deposit of these notes is not allowed in bank branches, but RBI has provided alternative means.
