Old currency lying in coop banks, allow deposits

Making a zero hour submission in the Rajya Sabha, Pawar made a passionate plea to the government for allowing the old currency lying with district central cooperative banks (DCCBs) to be deposited with currency chests. "Thus the DCCBs received deposits of specified bank notes (old currency) from 10 November, 2016 to 13 November, 2016. However, on 17 November 2016, Reserve Bank of India issued guidelines to Currency Chest Banks restricting them from accepting SBNs from DCCBs. Again on 14 November, 2016, DCCBs were restrained from accepting or exchanging the old notes.

He said he had written to the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister that the old notes lying with DCCBs be allowed to be deposited in currency chests. According to Pawar, the district central cooperative banks (DCCBs) were saddled with large sums of junked currency after the RBI midway withdrew permission to them to accept the demonetised currency. Following the withdrawal of old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes from circulation on November 8, 2016, the junked currency was allowed to be deposited or exchanged in banks. The DCCBs accepted and exchanged demonetised currency between November 10 and 13, 2016, but they were subsequently barred from doing so, leaving them with stacks of junked currency, Pawar said. After the permission to receive old notes was withdrawn, these banks could not deposit the junked currency they had in the treasury, he said, adding that such banks, as on November 17, 2016, had about Rs 8,000 crore in old notes.
