Rupees 500 Note: Is the government going to discontinue 500 rupee notes from 2026? Such news was on social media for several days. In fact, in a YouTube video, it has been claimed that the government is going to discontinue 500 rupee notes from March 2026. This video has become very viral on social media and so far more than 4.5 lakh people have seen it. However, on this claim, the Press Information Bureau (PIB) has clearly stated that this claim is completely false.
Will 500 rupee notes be out of trend?
The PIB issued a statement saying that no announcement has been made by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to shut down the ₹ 500 notes. These notes are completely valid and will remain in trend. The viral video said that RBI would gradually start removing 500 rupee notes from 2026. But PIB described it as a rumor and said that no such policy or instructions have been issued by RBI. The PIB has appealed to the common people not to trust such false claims and do not share them on social media.
