2000 notes can be exchanged through post offices

Here is a friendly summary of the News about exchanging Rs 2000 notes:

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had announced some time back that people can exchange their old Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes for new notes. When this announcement happened, the RBI had also brought new Rs 2000 notes into the system.

Some people still have these older Rs 2000 notes that they haven’t exchanged yet. The RBI has now said that even post offices can help exchange these old Rs 2000 notes for new ones. Earlier, only banks were allowed to exchange them. 

This will make things easier for people living in rural areas or smaller towns. They can simply go to the local post office to swap their old Rs 2000 notes for new currency notes. They won’t need to go all the way to their bank branch anymore.

So in simple words:

  1. RBI had said old Rs 500 & 1000 can be exchanged for new notes 
  2. At that time, they also introduced new Rs 2000 currency
  3. Some people still have old Rs 2000 notes that need exchanging
  4. Earlier, only banks could help exchange these old notes
  5. Now post offices also allowed to exchange old Rs 2000 notes
  6. This will help people in villages & small towns exchange notes more easily
