Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided to scrap the notes of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 to stop the spread of counterfeit notes, which is aiding terror activities from across the border, and flush out black money. However, there will not be any change for other notes. The Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes will only be worth the paper they are printed on.
However, if you have these notes then you can exchange them within 50 days i.e; from 10th November to 30th December 2016.
