Last date to return ₹2000 notes
The finance ministry seems firm on the Reserve Bank of India (RBI)’s original deadline of September 30 to deposit or exchange ₹2000 notes. In a written reply in the Lok Sabha in late July, minister of State for finance Pankaj Chaudhary replied in negative to a question about whether there is a proposal to extend the deadline for the exchange of ₹2000 in banks beyond September 30. On May 19, the RBI announced the withdrawal of ₹2,000 notes from circulation but gave the public more than four months to either deposit such notes in accounts or exchange them at banks.
