New Delhi: Prime Minister Modi had decided to ban denominations in 2016 after coming to power. After that, Rs. 2000 notes (Rs. 2000 notes) were introduced. But now the printing of this two thousand rupee note has stopped. Union Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur informed Parliament in response to a written question. The press was asked not to print Rs 2,000 notes in 2019-20 and 2020-21. Anurag Thakur said that the government takes a decision after discussing with the Reserve Bank regarding the printing of notes.

Care is taken to ensure that the citizens do not face any difficulty in printing the notes. Rs 2,000 notes are rarely used in transactions. In March 2018, 3362 million pieces of Rs 2,000, or 3.37 per cent of the total currency notes and 37.26 per cent of the denomination notes were in circulation, Thakur said.
