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. Recent rumors circulating on social media and some YouTube channels about a ban or phase-out of ₹500 notes are false and misleading
Rs.500 Note not being banned
The RBI has only instructed banks and ATM operators to increase the availability of ₹100 and ₹200 notes to improve access to smaller denominations, but ₹500 notes will continue to be dispensed and used for all transactions. New ₹500 notes are still being printed and circulated
In summary:
- ₹500 notes are valid and will continue to be used.
