Women are adopting different methods to spend Rs 2000 note
‘Will give 2000 note in ration’
Mahima, who lives in South Delhi, has two notes of two thousand rupees. She doesn’t want to stand in line at the bank to get them replaced. Mahima says what is the sense of standing in the bank line just for two notes. The month is about to end, so I will give these notes to my maid. After all I have to pay his salary, then why not 2000 note. It hasn’t closed yet. This will also solve my queuing up problem. She will also buy some of it.
On the other hand, Veena, who lives in East Delhi, had hidden some money from her husband, including two thousand rupee notes. She says, ‘I will give my two thousand rupee notes to pay for the ration of the house.’ While Kavita, who lives in Rohini, says, ‘Rs 2,000 notes are still legal tender. No one can refuse to take them. That’s why I have thought that I will give these notes in gas cylinder etc. In this way, going to my bank and standing in line will be saved.
Best way to spend money
On talking about this, the shopkeepers say that there is no panic-like situation in the market regarding the Rs 2,000 note, but some people are definitely trying to get the Rs 2,000 note out even in small purchases. Regarding this, Binny Verma, president of Mandoli Road Market Traders Association, says, ‘Some people are trying to spend these notes in small purchases, but there is no panic-like situation. Shopkeepers are also accepting these notes because if we don’t take them, someone else will. However, many small shopkeepers are refusing to accept these notes for very small purchases, as then they may face the problem of loose money.
On the other hand, Ishita Gupta, the owner of the makeup studio, says, ‘Due to the closure of two thousand rupee notes, the domestic women are facing a lot of trouble, because sometimes they do savings hiding from their husbands. The effect of this has been that now people making online payments are also paying in cash and in that too they are getting more 2000 rupee notes, irrespective of their billing amount. On the other hand, Nishant Agarwal of Deepak Sarees says that our sales numbers are normal, but housewives are using Rs 2000 notes for purchases. On an average, we get 6 to 10 Rs 2,000 notes every day.
