I have few may be 5 INR 500 currency notes. Problem is I am abroad and would return to India in April 2017. Am I allowed to exchange the notes in banks in April 2017.

since you are abroad and likely to return in April 2017......yours is an EXCEPTIONAL case. So please do NOT go by the general guide lines. There is always a clean ROAD for ALL genuine people.....You will be given a separate channel to exchange the notes...dont worry

Yes you can. "For those who are unable to exchange their Specified Bank Notes on or before December 30, 2016, an opportunity will be given to them to do so at specified offices of the RBI, along with necessary documentation as may be specified by the Reserve Bank of India."
