RBI imposes restrictions on demonetised notes deposits exceeding Rs 5000

20 Dec 2016 Evaluate

Just few days ahead of the demonetisation deadline, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed restrictions on depositing banned Rs 500 and 1000 currency notes for amount exceeding Rs 5000, mandating that it can be deposited only once per account till December 30, 2016 that too after explaining to bank officials the reasons for not having done that so far. Meanwhile, Finance Ministry said that there will be no limit on quantity or value of specified bank notes tendered for payment and deposit under Taxation and Investment Regime for Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY), 2016.

Following the demonetisation of Rs 500 and 1000 notes on November 8, government had allowed people to use such notes for certain public utility bill payment as well as for payment to government hospitals and asked them to deposit the amount in bank accounts. The central bank said that now-defunct notes in excess of Rs 5000 shall be credited to only ‘know your customer’ (KYC) compliant accounts and if the accounts are not KYC compliant credits may be restricted up to Rs 50,000 subject to the conditions governing the conduct of such accounts. According to the circular, “Tenders of specified bank notes (SBN) in excess of Rs 5,000 into a bank account will be received for credit only once during the remaining period till December 30, 2016”.

RBI further said that the guideline does not apply to deposits below Rs 5000, but multiple deposits, if account for an amount over Rs 5000, will also come under the scanner. It also said that the equivalent value of specified bank notes tendered may be credited to a third party account, provided specific authorisation therefore accorded by the third party is presented to the bank, following standard banking procedure and on production of valid proof of identity of the person actually tendering. Under the PMGKY scheme, black money holders can deposit unaccounted cash in account which will be subject to 50 percent tax and 4-year interest free lock-in for the remaining 25 percent of the amount.
