Rs.500 Note not being banned-There is no ban on ₹500 notes by the government. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Press Information Bureau (PIB) have both clarified that ₹500 notes remain legal tender and there is no official plan or directive to withdraw or discontinue them.

Rs.500 Note not being banned

In summary:
- ₹500 notes are valid and will continue to be used.
