No Rs 2000 Note Printed In 2 Years, Says Anurag Thakur In Lok Sabha
Union Minister Anurag Thakur has confirmed the government has not printed any Rs 2000 note in the last two years. Reportedly, Thakur gave the reply to a question asked by MDMK MP A Ganeshamurthi over less circulation of Rs 2000 notes. Besides, citing demand-based currency printing, Thakur said the decision of printing different denominations lies with RBI and the Centre. Notably, the Rs 2,000 note accounted for only 35% of the total transaction in 2020.
