New Delhi. Now there will be no need to go to RBI offices to deposit Rs 2,000 note in your account. Any person can send a note of Rs 2,000 to the issue office of RBI through any post office in the country and deposit it in his account. Apart from this, RBI has also released a new facility for exchanging Rs 2000 note, which is called Triple Lock Receptacle (TLR).
Notes will be out of circulation from May 19
The Central Bank has taken this decision in view of the difficulties faced in exchanging notes. RBI had announced the withdrawal of Rs 2,000 denomination notes from circulation on May 19 this year.
Extended deadline
People were given the facility to deposit these notes in banks and exchange them with notes of other denominations. The public and institutions holding such notes were initially asked to exchange them or deposit them in bank accounts by September 30. Later this deadline was extended till October 7.
Both deposit and exchange services at bank branches were closed on 7 October. From October 8, individuals have been provided the option to exchange currency at 19 RBI offices or deposit the equivalent amount in their bank accounts.
However, now these notes cannot be deposited in banks but Rs 2,000 notes can be deposited or exchanged in 19 offices of the Reserve Bank. Meanwhile, long queues are being seen during working hours at RBI offices to exchange or deposit Rs 2,000 notes. RBI has also made it clear that Rs 2000 notes will still be considered valid.
How to change 2000 rupee notes
RBI has simplified the process of exchanging Rs 2000 notes. It is featuring Triple Lock Receptacle (TLR). According to the agency report, RBI Regional Director Rohit P. Das said that we are providing the facility to customers to exchange Rs 2000 notes through post. After exchange of notes, the entire amount will be deposited directly into the customers’ accounts. The good thing is that with this, customers will not need to stand in long queues and spend fare to go to their bank.
Further they say that the amount sent through LTR or post will be safe.
So far so many notes have been deposited
According to a recent report, till now only 97 percent of Rs 2000 notes have been deposited in RBI. Whereas till now Rs 2000 notes worth Rs 10,000 crore are circulating in the market. In such a situation, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das has appealed to the people to deposit the notes as soon as possible.
