Nepal hopes India will take back demonetised notes worth Rs 7 crore

Dhaka's Central Bank has Rs 7 crore of India's demonetised currency, but New Delhi is not making "adjustments" to take it back, Nepal's Foreign Minister Pradeep Kumar Gyawali said on Friday.

The Indian government on November 8, 2016 announced the ban on old Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes to curb black money in the system.

"Around INR 7 crore (demonetised currency) is deposited in our Central Bank. It went through the banking channel, I don't know why India is not making adjustment (in the matter)," Mr Gyawali said.
