<prompt> Human: Apparently there is some kind of block on rupees right now, I was hoping someone could explain to me what I should do with this now?  <response>: I think last month they effectively made certain old denominations 500 and 1,000 of Indian Rupee no longer valid currency effective Dec 30th 2016. Not sure if that completed or not, of if there is still some sort of extension going on.From what I read, it looks like the only way to get those bills deposited was fly to India, and deposit them directly. However your not allowed to fly with more than 25,000 Rupee.Assuming those arent the affected notes.You should be able to go to most banks and open a foreign currency account and deposit it directly assuming they are still valid.
