RBI directs banks to ensure ATMs dispense ₹100 and ₹200 denomination banknotes on a regular basis.
RBI has issued direction to all Banks on the dispensation of ₹100 and ₹200 denomination banknotes through ATMs.
Rs. 100 and Rs. 200 notes serve specific purposes due to their value, convenience, and role in daily transactions. People need these denominations for convenience for small to medium transactions. Rs. 100 and Rs. 200 currency notes are ideal for everyday purchases like groceries, public transport, small retail, and dining at modest establishments. Rs. 100 and Rs. 200 notes provide flexibility for transactions that fall between smaller (Rs. 10, Rs. 20, Rs. 50) and larger Rs. 500 denominations, reducing the need for exact change.
Apart from above, In India, cash gifts in denominations like Rs. 100 or Rs. 200 are common during festivals, weddings, or small gestures, aligning with cultural practices.
