Petrol pump assistant refuses Rs 2000 note and pumps out fuel from bike

Petrol was pumped out of a two-wheeler after an attendant refused to accept Rs 2000 notes when offered by the customer in the Jalaun district of Uttar Pradesh.

A video shot by the customer at the HP petrol station shows the attendant removing the petrol using a funnel.

Cash purchase of fuel at petrol pumps



using Rs 2000 notes has spiked to almost 90 percent of daily sales as buyers rushed to tender the withdrawn currency notes.

Many petrol pump dealers said cash sales before the surprise announcement were only 10 percent, but now customers were using the withdrawn note to make small purchases of Rs 100/200, expecting change in return.
