Ministry of Finance has given 30 days time to the district central co-operative banks (DCCB) for depositing scrapped notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 with the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
In a Gazette notification, the ministry said, “Specified bank notes may be deposited by such bank namely post office or district central co-operative bank as the case may be in any office of the Reserve Bank of India within a period of 30 days from the commencement of these rules. “
It further added, "Get the exchange value thereby credit to the account of such bank, post office of district central co-operative bank as the case may be, subject to the satisfaction of RBI of the conditions specified in the said notification and the reason for non-deposit of the specified bank notes within the period under that notification.”
