The Secretary of Economic Affairs, Shaktikanta Das, addressed the media over demonetization issue in Delhi. Shaktikanta Das told the media that the daily currency exchange limit had been cut to Rs 2,000 from the earlier Rs 4,500 with effect from November 18. Of course, it is a sad news to some people.

As of Wednesday, banks in certain cities also started using indelible ink to put a mark on the right hand of the persons exchanging cash, to ensure that each person only exchanges cash once a day.

Here are the New Demonetization Guidelines:

• Up to Rs 2.5 lakh cash can be drawn from the bank account for a marriage during ongoing wedding season from Mother or Father Account only.
• The limit for over the counter exchange of old Rs 500, RS 1000 notes has been reduced from Rs 4,500 to Rs 2,000.
