New Delhi: Only 10 days are left to exchange pre-2005 currency notes, including those of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denominations at banks, as the deadline ends on June 30. Seeking cooperation for withdrawing pre-2005 currency notes from circulation, the RBI had asked the public to deposit the old design notes in their bank accounts or exchange them at a bank branch convenient to them.
The earlier deadline was January 1, but later the Reserve Bank extended it till the end of this month. All pre-2005 notes continue to remain a legal tender. These notes can be exchanged for their full value at the bank branches. It is easy to identify pre-2005 notes as they do not have the year of printing mentioned on their reverse side. In notes issued post 2005, the year of printing is visible at the bottom.
