Stung by their ordeal following the shock demonetisation of 2016, Delhi residents are making a beeline to petrol stations to offload Rs 2,000 notes that are being withdrawn from circulation. The high-value notes can be exchanged or deposited in bank accounts between tomorrow and September 30 this year, the Reserve Bank of India has said. Assuring the people that there is no need to panic, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das today said the Rs 2,000 notes will continue to be legal tender after the deadline.
