28 February 2017 Those requirements for the deposit of old Rs.500 and Rs.1000. RBI has further extended to March 2017. If you have old notes, deposit it with RBI.

01 March 2017 Please note that if you have old notes, you will be subjected to a lot of questioning regarding why they were not deposited in the intervening period of November 08th to December 30th 2016.
There will be a presumption of wrong doing and you will need to have valid reason as to why you didnt deposit old notes till now.

01 March 2017 actually i dont have old currency, the only concern is that i did not have a current account earlier that is why i did not deposit my cash for this financial year in bank account. so if i deposit cash for full financial year now in my new current account then will it be questioned?

02 March 2017 You can deposit the amount in the bank with proper explanation specifying the reason for the deposit. If you do bank transactions, you would also get many Income Tax benefits in the next year 2017-18.
