Meanwhile RBI has asked banks to hasten re-calibration of their ATMs so that the newly introduced Rs 200 notes an be put into circulation.

Since demonetization the RBI has come out with new design for five denominations. While the new Rs 2,000 and Rs 500 notes were introduced immediately after demonetization, RBI had recently introduced the new Rs 200 and Rs 50 notes.

While in denominations of Rs 200 and above only new designs are in circulation, the older notes would continue to exist in the case of Rs 10 and Rs 50 notes.
