Originally Published 2 years ago — by Indiatimes.com
Indians are finding ways to offload Rs 2,000 notes before they are withdrawn by the Reserve Bank of India. People are buying premium branded goods, rushing to petrol pumps, and even using the notes to pay for mangoes. Some shops are eagerly accepting the notes, while others are not. Fuel pumps are also seeing long queues with people using the notes to fill their tanks. The notes can be exchanged or deposited till September 30, 2023.
