Deadline to return or exchange ₹2,000 notes extended

The Reserve Bank of India has extended the

deadline to return or exchange ₹2,000 notes with

the banks to October 7. The deadline was earlier

set at September 30 by the central bank. In May,

the RBI announced it was withdrawing 2,000

banknotes from circulation citing its clean-note

policy and advised banks to stop issuing the notes

with immediate effect.
