    Status 

    Status of ₹2,000 notes

    Introduced in 2016 post-demonetization, ₹2,000 notes have served their purpose, and their printing came to a halt in the financial year 2018-19.

    Despite the formal withdrawal announcement, it's crucial to note that these notes continue to retain their status as legal tender.

    As of December 29, 2023, a significant 97.38% of these notes have been returned, yet ₹9,330 crore worth of ₹2,000 notes remains in circulation.
