New Delhi: Here's what you need to do with your 500 and 1000 rupee notes.
To stop the spread of counterfeit notes, which is aiding terror activities from across the border, and flush out black money, the government has decided to scrap the notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday. Starting midnight, these notes will only be "worth the paper they are printed on," he said.
A proposal for new 500 and 2,000 rupee notes has been cleared by the Reserve Bank of India.

- Exchange them from a bank or post office till 24 November. The limit for exchange is Rs 4000
- Take Aadhaar card and PAN Card when you go to exchange notes
- After December 30, these can be deposited at the Reserve Bank with a declaration
- Tourists can change the notes at airports
