₹2000 denomination banknotes were introduced on November 10, 2016, under Section 24(1) of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Act, 1934, to meet the currency requirement of the economy after the withdrawal of ₹500 and ₹1000 banknotes in circulation at that time.
- 89% of ₹2000 denomination notes were issued prior to March 2017 and are close to the end of their useful life (4-5 years).
- A Pan-India survey conducted by RBI showed that ₹2000 denomination banknotes are no longer preferred for transactions.
RBI’s Decision to Withdraw:
- In line with RBI’s “Clean Note Policy” and considering the declining preference and useful life of ₹2000 denomination notes, RBI decided to withdraw them from circulation.
