<h1>Demonetisation currency return: near-complete deposit and processing of withdrawn notes with increased printing and counterfeit shifts.</h1> Reserve Bank reports near-complete return and processing of demonetised specified bank notes (SBNs): receipts were verified, counted and processed through high-speed currency verification and processing systems (CVPS), then shredded; a small residual portion did not return to the banking system. Unusual deposits faced income-tax scrutiny. The exercise increased printing and processing expenditure and altered counterfeit detection patterns across denominations, while denomination management included issuing replacement notes for some withdrawn denominations.
