New Delhi: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Wednesday dispelled rumours of the Rs 2,000 note having a 'micro nano GPS chip' to enable its tracking through satellite.
"From where did you come to know this? I haven't heard of it," Mr Jaitley said when asked whether the Rs 2,000 currency note, being issued by the government, had a chip to enable its satellite tracking.
