Introduced in November 2016, RBI had already stopped printing these 2000 rupee notes by 2018-19. This was for less than three years after the introduction of the currency. The circulation value is nearly halved for 2000 rupee notes. As of March 31, 2023, the amount has dropped from Rs 6.73 trillion in 2018 to Rs 3.62 trillion. The ample supply of other denominations meets the currency requirements of the country. 2000 rupee notes aren't used commonly for daily transactions, though they were introduced to rapidly exchange cash during demonetization. Thus, they fall under the clean note policy.
