2000 denomination bank notes were introduced in 2016 after ban of Rs 1000 denomination note ban as the highest legal tender. The printing of the same was ended in 2018-2019 after other denominations were available adequately. Now these notes are at the end of their life cycle of 4 - 5 years and with the onset of Digital Payments, this denomination is not used widely for transactions.

According to certain economists, this can also help in the reduction of fake notes and also drive the entire country to adopt fully digital transactions.

Hence the impact to the economy will also be less compared to the demonetization of 2016, where the then 1000s and 500s notes were widely used. Now with the widespread use of UPI apps and digital monetary devices and softwares the fear of standing in long queues no longer applies.
