In other words, starting from 9 November last year, 500 rupees and 1000 rupees of money is not money! Then the Indian Ministry of Finance said it would introduce new 500 and 2000 rupees face notes on November 10.
The actual maximum denomination will be only 100 rupees in the circulation of the Indian market, until the new 500 and 2000 rupees are widely recognized, which is about 10.2 yuan. The policy has had a huge impact on the daily lives of the Indian people, not to mention the tires in India.
