Cash chaos: People mob banks to exchange spiked currency

The government had said Rs 4,000 worth of spiked currency can be exchanged daily but most banks halved this amount to cater to most of the customers. Anil Wadhwani, an executive with a retail chain, realized this to his horror -- after being in a queue outside a bank in Delhi's Lajpat Nagar for five long hours. "I had brought four 1,000 rupee notes but could only exchange Rs 2,000," Wadhwani said outside the ICICI Bank.
