How to Exchange Old 500 and 1000 Rupee Notes in Banks and Post Office
In an unprecedented and historic move, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes will be banned in India. This – first time on TV announcement – came from PM Modi after Pakistan violated ceasefire agreements in Jammu and Kashmir. After the recent Uri Attacks by Pakistani terrorists and India’s fitting reply in form of surgical strikes across border, tensions between the two nations escalated. Pakistan started to violate cease fire agreements at several points along Jammu and Kashmir borders.
In order to deal with the problem of black money and also to give a blow to terrorism, this historic move was necessary. He asked the Indian citizens to help by happily accepting this tough decision, which is going to cause some inconvenience for at least 2 days.
What did PM Modi announce?
PM Modi announced that starting midnight of November 8, 2016, the currency notes of denominations Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 will cease to be a legal tender. They will be reduced to status of useless paper pieces and will not be accepted in any transaction across the nation. Modi stated that this move is a part of fight against black money and terrorism – the two pillars of destruction that have plagued the Indian economy for a very long time.

This is a great launch by the RBI, this will reduce the burden of printing more notes of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000. Now it can be reduced by printing a note for Rs. 2000 at once. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is fully responsible for the monetary policies of Indian rupee. So this new move made by the RBI also seems to be very beneficial for the country.
This deposit can be done till December 30, 2016 and those who want to get the money exchanged will have to do so by November 24, 2016. However, those who fail to get the notes exchanged within that time will be given a second chance to have the notes exchanged. However, those availing the second chance will have to physically visit RBI along with a declaration and identity proof to have the notes exchanged. The time frame for this second chance will be March 31, 2017. In case someone fails to comply (that is have the notes exchanged within that extended time frame), no more exchange requests will be entertained and people will simply lose money.
