One more decision on SBNs: Reserve Bank’s latest circular (dated 23/11/2016) to all the commercial banks, foreign banks, RRBs, State & Urban co-operative banks advised about the Government’s decision that the subscribers of Small Savings Schemes may not be allowed to deposit SBNs (defunct Rs.500/- & Rs.1000/-) in Small Savings Schemes. Banks are, therefore, advised not to accept SBNs for deposits in Small Saving Schemes with immediate effect.
