While searching for something in our home, my mother unexpectedly found a bundle of ₹2,000 notes, totaling ₹88,000. At first, we were excited, thinking we had stumbled upon forgotten savings. But that happiness quickly turned into panic as we realized that ₹2,000 notes have been officially banned. Now, we are left feeling anxious and uncertain about what to do next.


This money could have been extremely useful for my family, but with the ban in place, we fear that it might be completely worthless now. We had no intention of hoarding or evading any rules—it was simply forgotten money. Now, I am desperately looking for a way to deposit or exchange it legally before it’s too late.


If there’s still any possible way to handle this situation—whether through a bank, RBI, or any official channel—I would be extremely grateful for any guidance. Losing such a significant amount due to a technicality is a heartbreaking thought. If anyone has experienced something similar or knows what steps can be taken, please help.

Talk to your CA.
But if there's any possibility, people would still be exchanging them and beat the original purpose to stop using those notes.
