Cabinet approves ordinance on holding old notes after 31 March

29 Dec 2016 Evaluate

Two days before the cut-off date for depositing demonetised Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes, the union cabinet has approved an ordinance to impose penalties on those who will hold the scrapped 500 and 1,000 rupee notes beyond March 31, 2017. The ordinance will come into force once the president gives his assent but it will have to be passed by parliament within six months.

The ordinance, named as 'The Specified Bank Notes Cessation of Liabilities Ordinance', is to extinguish liability of the government and the central bank on the demonetised high-denomination notes to prevent future litigations. Cases were filed in courts across the country questioning the government’s power to cull currency by an executive decision. The banned notes can be deposited in banks till December 30 and thereafter at select RBI counters till March 31 next year.

The Ordinance makes holding of old 1,000 and 500 rupee notes after March 31 beyond a threshold amount a criminal offence that will attract a monetary fine of Rs 10,000 or five times the cash held, whichever is higher as well as could also attract a jail term and furnishing wrong information while depositing the old currency between January 1 and March 31 will attract a fine of Rs 5,000 or five times the amount. A maximum of 10 banned notes may be allowed to be held by any person.
