Exchange limit, only 10 notes at a time. 

Nawanshahr/Punjab: Once bitten twice shy! Exchange limit is only 10 notes at a time could scare black money holders!

A renowned social activist Ashwani Joshi from Nawanshahr said that move to withdraw rupee 2000 from Public circulation may seems like “Clean Note Policy” but could have many good reasons.

Banking liquidity to improve.

With all the 2000-rupee notes coming back in the banking system, we will see a reduction in cash in circulation and that will in turn help improve banking system liquidity.

This denomination is no longer commonly used for transactions; besides, there is adequate stock of banknotes in other denominations to meet currency requirements.
