There
is no plan to re-introduce the Rs. 1,000 note and the focus is on increasing
the production and supply of Rs. 500 and lower denomination currency, Economic
Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das tweeted on Wednesday.
“Complaints
of cash out in ATMs being addressed. Request everyone to draw the cash they
actually require. Overdrawal by some deprives others,” he said in another
tweet.
Last
week, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said the remonetisation situation with
regard to replenishing the scrapped currency was “almost normal” now and the
Reserve Bank of India was monitoring the supply on a daily basis.
The
government announced the withdrawal of old Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 notes on
November 8, 2016, with the aim to check black money, counterfeit notes and
terror financing.
