In preparation for an expected surge in individuals seeking to exchange ₹2,000 notes for smaller denominations, banks have made necessary arrangements to handle the crowd by setting up dedicated counters, according to officials.

On Monday, it was announced that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has already provided banks with a standardized set of instructions (standard operating procedure or SOP) to facilitate and streamline the exchange process.

RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das emphasized on Monday that the ₹2000 notes will retain their status as legal tender, despite the central bank's earlier announcement regarding their withdrawal from circulation.

He further expressed his belief that there won't be a sudden influx of people at bank branches and advised individuals not to hastily flock to banks.

The State Bank of India (SBI), the largest public sector bank in the country based on its assets, has implemented a new guideline for its branches regarding the exchange of ₹2,000 currency notes. According to this guideline, customers will not be required to provide any form of identification or proof when exchanging these notes.

However, it is important to note that there is a maximum limit of ₹20,000 for depositing or exchanging these ₹2,000 banknotes, and this limit can only be availed once by the customer.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced that individuals have a period, starting from May 23 and ending on September 30, to exchange or deposit ₹2,000 notes.

It is being done to gradually remove these notes from circulation. It is important to note that even after September 30, these notes will still be considered legal tender and can be used for transactions.
