2000 Rupee Note: The Reserve Bank of India has announced that the capability of exchanging 2000 Rupee notes would not be accessible owing to government offices being closed for half the day on Monday, January 22, in light of the Ram Temple's opening ceremony. A half-day vacation in central government offices on Monday has been issued by the Department of Personnel and Training in honor of the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha initiative. Public sector banks, rural banks, insurance providers, and all other financial institutions nationwide will be closed for a half-day as a result.
