500 Rupee Bane: For the last few days, a post is becoming increasingly viral on the social media platform X. In this post, it is being claimed that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to remove the 500 rupee note from circulation. The viral post also states that in the coming time, only 100 and 200 rupee notes will come out from 90 percent of ATMs.

What is in the viral post?

The viral post includes a screenshot claiming that RBI has instructed banks to increase the number of 100 and 200 rupee notes in their ATMs.

Users who posted this say that this means that the Rs 500 note is gradually being removed from circulation.

What does the actual RBI directive say?

Our team investigated the matter and found that the RBI has indeed issued a directive to banks. However, there is no mention of discontinuing the Rs 500 note in this directive. The actual RBI directive is only that banks should increase the availability of Rs 100 and Rs 200 notes in their ATMs.

What is the purpose of RBI?

This move of RBI is to ensure the availability of small notes to the general public. Often people have trouble breaking Rs 500 or Rs 2000 notes after withdrawing them from the ATM. Small shopkeepers and ordinary people often do not have change in exchange for such big notes. RBI wants people to get small notes directly from the ATM, so that they do not face any problem.

Is the Rs 500 note being discontinued?

No, RBI has not given any indication of discontinuing the Rs 500 note in any official document. This note will remain in circulation as before. The things said in the viral post are completely wrong and have nothing to do with the actual instructions of RBI.

That is, this news going viral on social media is completely wrong. RBI has not taken any decision to ban the 500 rupee note. Banks have only been instructed to increase the number of 100 and 200 rupee notes in ATMs, so that small notes are easily available to the general public.
