Finally a sigh of relief…Bank staff who have been overstretched across the country, can breathe easy….No more exchanging old 500 and 1000 rupee notes. Now the burden shifts to the employees of the Reserve Bank. Commercial bank staff complain….Just to exchange INR 2000, there is verification of identity proof (Originals are often missing). Then citizens standing in long queues, have their index finger marked in ink. Bank staff have to do this job, instead of concentrating on the loan business.
Citizens are often angry with bank staff. They say…The Government has asked us to exchange old 500 and 1000 rupee notes, up to INR 4,000 per person, showing valid identity proof. If bank staff say…No the limit is just INR 2,000, citizens are angry. Yes…The government had allowed citizens to exchange old 500 and 1000 rupee notes, up to INR 4,000. This limit was then raised to INR 4,500. Then it was reduced to INR 2,000. Many citizens were unaware of this change and took out their anger on the bank staff….
With the exchange of old 500 and 1000 rupee notes stopped, bank staff can heave a sigh of relief.
