FACT CHECK
The central bank has no plan of scrapping Rs 2000 notes. We scanned through the official website of RBI where no such circular and notification was issued by the central bank.
Moreover, there has been no such report by any of the reputed media about the above news.
Hence, this proves that the above claim in the viral posts is FAKE
