Over a year after the Indian government demonetized the ₹2000 note, the RBI continues to retrieve them. However, billions still remain in circulation.
₹2000 Notes
The Modi government demonetized ₹500 and ₹1000 notes in 2016 to combat black money, introducing new ₹500 and ₹2000 notes. The ₹2000 note was also demonetized in May 2023.
₹2000 Notes
The value of ₹2000 notes in circulation at the time of demonetization was ₹3,55,858 crore. Within two months, over 97% were returned to the RBI. You can exchange ₹2000 notes at RBI regional offices. 19 offices across India offer this service.
