RANCHI: After spending hours in queues, the common man is now facing a problem of getting change for Rs 2,000 notes given to them by the bank. The Rs 2,000 currency notes are being given only at the banks on withdrawal or currency exchange and people have no option but to accept them. However, the problem arises when they go to buy something and the shopkeeper refuses to give them change .Anish Chaudhary, a citizen, said, "I got Rs 2,000 note from the bank and went to a grocery shop to buy a few things. The bill was around Rs 400 and when I offered the note to the shopkeeper he refused to take it saying he doesn't have Rs 1,600 in change. So I was forced to buy more things to get my bill upto Rs 1,000, after which he agreed to give me the change."The worst affected in this crisis are the poor people for whom Rs 2,000 is a big amount as their whole family depends on it. Saira Begum , who works as a domestic help, said, "I had around Rs 4,000 in Rs 500 currency notes paid by my employer. When I went to the bank to exchange, it they gave me two Rs 2,000 notes. Now I am unable to get change for it and buy basic necessities for my family."Meanwhile, shopkeepers are ruing the shortage of change in the market. "People are coming in with Rs 2,000 notes and buying things for Rs 100 or 200 just to get the change. I don't have enough change myself, how can I give it to customers," said Pappu Bajaj, a grocery shop owner.However, there are a few shopkeepers giving the change for the big currency notes only after taking cut money.
