My #thread on Rs.2000 notes.

Total number of Rs. 2000 notes was reduced from
33,632 lakhs on 31/03/2018 to
21,420 lakhs on 31/03/2022,
ie,36.3% reduction in 5 years!

But value-wise, it is drastically reduced from
50.2% of total value in 2017 to
13.8% of same in 2022

To replace the quantity of Rs.2000 notes with Rs.500 notes, RBI only needs to print 85,860 lakh pieces Rs.500 notes.

In 2021-22, RBI printed 1,28,003 lakh pieces of Rs.500 currency.

RBI has the capacity to print & supply around 2,22,500 lakh notes every year..
