KATHMANDU: The Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has introduced a service for exchanging clean notes, starting today, in anticipation of the Dashain festival.
Dr. Dilliram Pokhrel, assistant spokesperson for the NRB, stated that the service will be available until October 8 at the central bank’s offices, provincial offices, and branches of all banks and financial institutions.
Individuals can exchange up to Rs 18,500 in denominations of five, ten, twenty, fifty, and one hundred rupees at any accessible bank or financial institution.
Unlike previous years, when the NRB circulated entirely fresh notes for Dashain, this year the service will provide used but clean or unstained notes.
