NEW DELHI: The government and RBI on Monday unveiled fresh restrictions on deposit of old 500 and 1,000 rupee notes, saying anyone depositing above Rs 5,000 will be questioned "on record, in the presence of at least two officials of the bank, as to why this could not be deposited earlier" and only after a "satisfactory explanation" will the money be deposited. This flies in the face of the government repeatedly urging the public that since the deadline for making deposits of old notes was December 30, they had ample time and should not rush to bank branches and add to queues.

The new notification also says that deposits exceeding Rs 5,000 in old 500 and 1,000 notes will have to be made in one go during the remaining period till December 30. If smaller deposits add up to more than Rs 5,000, the procedure of bank officials seeking explanations may still be followed.

"The explanation should be kept on record to facilitate an audit trail at a later stage. An appropriate flag also should be raised in CBS (core banking solution) to that effect so that no more tenders are allowed," the RBI said.

"The banks have been advised to conduct due diligence regarding the reasons for not depositing these notes earlier," said a finance ministry statement.

The central bank said deposits above Rs 5,000 will be credited to only know your customer (KYC) compliant accounts and if the accounts are not KYC-compliant, credits may be restricted up to Rs 50,000 subject to rules covering such accounts.

The above restrictions will not apply to those depositing old notes under the taxation and investment regime for the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana, the RBI said.
