According to the RBI’s release, the window for exchanging ₹ 2,000 notes will open on May 23, allowing banks sufficient time to make necessary arrangements. Individuals can exchange these notes at their respective banks or visit any of the 19 regional offices of the RBI for the exchange procedure.

To ensure a smooth transition, there are specific limits in place. As per the RBI’s guidelines, people can exchange up to ₹ 20,000 worth of ₹ 2,000 notes at a time.
