“As of now, our understanding with the Reserve Bank of India is that a Nepali citizen can hold up to Indian Rs 25,000 (in the) old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes. Even the fate of those old notes is uncertain, how these new Indian notes coming into the market can be considered as legal?” says Poudel.
The currency of India is accepted across the Nepal, and now many people are facing the serious problems in exchanging the old Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes. Due to the open border for these two nations, these new Indian notes are also entered into the areas along the border with India.
Both the countries India and Nepal are yet to make an agreement on this new exchange of the withdrawn notes held by the citizens of Nepal. Ramu Poudel says that these two new central banks are in close contact for standing on this issue, but there is no outcome received on this issue.
