RBI removes limit on cash withdrawal, banks go back to pre-demonetisation era

The Reserve Bank of India on lifted the limit on cash withdrawals from banks and ATMs. Earlier on November 8, last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced the much talked about demonetisation drive, banning the use of high denomination currencies i.e, Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes. This a created a vacuum in the Indian economy as the



replenishment could not be done immediately. The RBI had then issued a limit on the cash withdrawals from banks and ATMs to stabilise the flow of currencies. On February 20, the Reserve Bank on had said that the weekly limit on withdrawal of cash from savings bank accounts would be increased to Rs 50,000, from the current Rs 24,000.
