Rs 500, Rs 1,000 ban: RBI says all is well but we went to 12 ATMs and most were shut
The question is when will the inconvenience end
The Reserve Bank of India has said in a statement today that there’s enough cash available with banks and all arrangements have been made to reach the currency notes all over the country. The apex bank urged public to exercise patience and exchange notes at convenience.
The central bank said it may take a while for the banks to recalibrate their ATMs; once the ATMs are functional, members of public will be able to withdraw cash from ATMs. Until 18 November, customers can withdraw a maximum of Rs 2,000 per card per day and after that up to Rs 4,000 per day per card.
