Rs 2000 Note Banned in India: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced its historic decision to ban the 2000 Rupee Note on Friday, May 19, 2023. Since they were printed more than four to five years ago (before March 2017), 89% of the Rs. 2000 banknotes have been removed from circulation, according to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
 
The important ruling concerning the Rs. 2,000 banknote won't stop the notes from being authentic. The currency must be exchanged before September 30, 2023, or it will lose its face value. The notes are legal tender.
