The Reserve Bank of India, on May 19, decided to withdraw ₹2,000 note from circulation. “In view of the above, and in pursuance of the ‘Clean Note Policy’ of the Reserve Bank of India, it has been decided to withdraw the ₹2,000 denomination bank notes from circulation,” the RBI said. “Members of the public are encouraged to utilise the time up to September 30, 2023 to deposit and/or exchange the Rs 2,000 bank notes,” the central bank said. SEBI probe into Adani drew a blank: Supreme Court-appointed panel A six-member expert committee — constituted by the Supreme Court in the Hindenburg-Adani allegations case and headed by former Supreme Court judge, Justice A.M. Sapre — said that the Securities Exchange Board of India has “drawn a blank” and is in a “chicken-and-egg situation” in its investigation into the “ownership” of 13 overseas entities, including 12 Foreign Portfolio Investors. In a statement, the Finance Ministry said this is being done to remove “any procedural ambiguity” as “concerns have been raised about the applicability of Tax Collection at Source to small transactions under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme from July 1, 2023.” Earlier this week, the Reserve Bank of India introduced a new provision to capture overseas credit card spends under the LRS, which permits forex remittances of $2.5 lakhs a year for individuals.
