For the last few days, a viral video is being circulated on social media claiming that Rs 1000 notes are coming back from January 1, 2023. The news spread amind the backdrop of a government reply in Parliament that no fresh indent for printing Rs 2000 currency notes have been placed since 2018-19.

However, the news of the Rs 1000 notes coming back from January 1 is untrue. There is no such plan by the government to reintroduce Rs 1000 notes which were banned by the government in 2016 after a public address on television by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

The government of India's PIB Fact Check took to microblogging platform, Twitter, to caution people against such frivolous and misleading claims. PIB Fact Check said on Twitter, “A viral video on social media is claiming that Rs 1000 notes will come from January 1 and Rs 2000 notes will return to banks. This claim is fake. Please do not forward such misleading message. It further said that the Central Government has not decided to ban Rs 2000 notes."
