alternate usage of currency notes hemaraj - 16-MAR-2010
Today the habba day has a very first page in times of india, scene of mayawathi getting garlanded with 1000 rupee notes, amounting to 5 crores. I read an article sometime back that RBI has mentioned that a rule is being brought in,where currency cannot be used for alteranate purpose other than for transaction as money. anybody using other than the specific purpose will be severly punished as it is damaging the notes and cost of printing is very high, and has to be maintained. this article was published when one of the ministers in Tamilnadu was garlanded. will this stand good for all . or is it for commom man. or has the rule been abolished.
