Viral post: A post on WhatsApp and other social media platforms is becoming increasingly viral, in which it is being claimed that 500 notes will be closed from September. It is being said in this post that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has directed to stop issuing 500 notes from ATM after September 30, 2025. It is also being claimed in the post that only 200 and 100 rupee notes will be available at ATMs.
Government immediately took steps
It was informed in the post that RBI has directed all banks to stop issuing 500 rupee notes from ATM by the end of September 2025. There was a stir as soon as this post came in front. The government immediately took steps to lie in this claim made in the viral post.
The Press Information Bureau (PIB) described this post as fake and said that RBI has not said anything like this to banks. PIB spoke not to pay attention to these false news and take information from government sources only. 500 notes will remain valid. That is, you will still be able to transact with it as before.
Has RBI really asked banks to stop disbursing ₹ 500 Notes from Atms by September 2025?

RBI gave these instructions
The Reserve Bank recently changed the rules and directed that by 30 September 2025, 75 percent notes in ATM should be Rs 100-200. It will increase to 90 percent by 31 March 2026. The objective behind this should be reduced to the problem of holiday money and the customers do not have much trouble. Due to this, people will not have to worry much for small notes.
