The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently announced the withdrawal of Rs 2000 notes from circulation on May 19, 2023.
The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) 19 regional offices and other banks will start taking ₹ 2,000 notes for exchange with lower denomination ones from May 23. They will remain legal tender, the RBI said.
On Monday, food delivery firm Zomato revealed that 72 per cent of the ‘cash on delivery orders’ were paid in ₹ 2,000 notes after the RBI announcement. The food delivery company used the perfect meme, a Breaking Bad reference to share the news.
“Since Friday, 72% of our cash on delivery orders were paid in Rs 2000 notes,” Zomato wrote along with a picture of Breaking Bad character Huell Babineaux – laying atop a mountain of cash. Zomato tweaked the photo and made the character wear a Zomato t-shirt and replaced the currency.
