TL;DR: Even after the deadline, ₹2000 notes worth ₹6,017 crore are still floating around . RBI confirms in a new update 📢. What does this mean for you? Find out .

Still Clutching Your ₹2000 Notes, Bro?

It’s been over a year since the RBI pulled the plug on ₹2000 notes, but guess what? As of 30 June 2025, notes worth ₹6,017 crore are STILL in public hands, according to the Reserve Bank of India’s latest figures .

That’s about 2.1% of the total ₹2000 note circulation (which was ₹3.56 lakh crore when withdrawal was announced on 19 May 2023) .

Flashback: What Was This Drama About?

The ₹2000 note was introduced in November 2016 post demonetisation to ease cash supply . But by May 2023, RBI said bye-bye to it, saying it had "served its purpose".

Citizens were asked to exchange or deposit their notes by October 7, 2023. After that, they could only exchange at select RBI counters .

By end of June 2024, RBI claimed 97.8% of these notes had returned . But the latest stats show some people are still holding out .

Why Does This Matter for You? 🤷‍♂️

✅ These ₹2000 notes are NOT banned—they just aren’t legal tender anymore 🛑. You can still exchange them only at RBI offices—no more banks 🏛️. Big question: Why haven’t these been returned? Hoarders? Black money? Lost? Burned? 🕵️‍♂️

Some economists believe these holdouts are either:

Untraceable hoards
Forgotten bundles
Or possibly black market stash

People’s Angle: ₹ Value or Illusion?

Imagine ₹6000 crore just lying around like expired gift coupons 😤. For middle-class folks, this is a year’s salary for 60,000 families (at ₹10L each) 🧾.

While gig workers, students and farmers hustle to stretch every rupee, the rich seem to lose crores in sofa gaps and suitcases? Unfair vibes, no?

MediaFx Take: What Are We Hiding Under The Mattress? 🛏️

This is not just about some leftover purple paper 💸—it’s about trust in currency, transparency in governance, and economic equality.

Instead of blaming foreign enemies or “IT cells”, the government must ask: Why does cash-based black money still thrive?

Meanwhile, for the common man, it’s yet another sign: System doesn’t lose sleep if the rich hoard. But you miss one EMI? Boom. Trouble.
