The INR2000 note will remain legal tender, but Indian citizens have been notified by the RBI to deposit or exchange these notes
This announcement from the banks comes at the time when there is a lot of misinformation going around on social media.

As on March 31, 2018, Rs 2,000 notes worth Rs 6,73,000 crore were available in the market, accounting for 37.3 percent of the total currency circulation.
