New Delhi: The RBI has said that Rs 500 and
Rs 1,000 notes, returned to banks when the government
demonetised high value currency 15 months ago, are still being
"processed for their arithmetical accuracy and genuineness".
This is being done in an "expedited manner", the central
bank said.
"Specific bank notes are being processed for their
arithmetical accuracy and genuineness and the reconciliation
for the same is ongoing. This information can, therefore, be
shared on completion of the process and reconciliation," the
RBI said in reply to an RTI application filed by a PTI
correspondent.
