In May last year, the apex bank announced its decision to withdraw the Rs. 2,000 notes, which was first introduced after the demonetisation exercise in 2016.

At present, over 97.38 per cent of the Rs. 2,000 notes in circulation as in May 2023 have been returned. After allowing the exchange or deposit across bank counters, the RBI has made available multiple other channels where the notes can be exchanged or deposited.
