"We have clearly explained in our press note that the Rs 2000 notes were primarily issued for the purpose of quickly replenishing the value of money which was being taken out from the system when the legal tender status of then-prevailing Rs 1000 and Rs 500 notes was withdrawn..(demonetisation). That purpose has been fulfilled, today there are enough notes in circulation, of other denominations," Das said
