Now RBI, on a review, decided to extend the date for the public to exchange their pre-2005 bank notes till June 30, 2016.
However, from January 01, 2016, such facility will only be available at identified bank branches and Issue Offices of RBI. Further, the Banks are advised to facilitate the exchange of such notes without causing any inconvenience to the public, whatsoever. These notes will retain their legal tender status.
