According to RBI’s response to the question, people will have to fill an application form which is available online and send the notes to the RBI issuing office through any service of Indian Post. In May last year, the apex bank had announced its decision to withdraw Rs 2,000 notes, which were introduced for the first time after demonetisation in 2016.

RBI made special arrangements

RBI also said that a separate line has been set up for those who exchange small number of currency notes like someone who has only 2-3 notes. So that they don’t have to wait long. Waiting lounges have also been created in the regional office. RBI had given time till September 30 to the common people to exchange notes, which was later extended till October 7. Now common people can exchange Rs 2000 notes only in the regional offices specified by RBI.

RBI said that the bank note with the star symbol is as legal as the bank note without the star symbol. RBI said that the star symbol is added between the prefix and serial number of the bank note. A banknote with a star symbol identifies that this note has been changed or reprinted after the note has melted or deteriorated by adding the star symbol with the same number and prefix.

RBI has issued this clarification after discussions in social media about the validity of bank notes with star symbol. RBI said that the star symbol is included in the number panel of bank notes. These are the notes which are printed in exchange for the spoiled notes. These notes with the star symbol are printed in 100 pieces with serial numbers.
