The government has extended till November 24 the deadline for use of the demonetised 1000- and 500-rupee notes for paying household utility bills, fuel, taxes and fees and purchases from co-operative stores.After the November 8 announcement making the old 1000- and 500-rupee notes invalid for use as legal tender, their use had been allowed at government hospitals, railway ticketing, public transport, airline ticketing at airports, milk booths, crematoria/burial grounds and petrol pumps for 72 hours.
This list was later expanded to include payments for metro rail tickets, highway and road toll, purchase of medicines on doctor prescription from the government and private pharmacies, LPG gas cylinders, railway catering, electricity and water bills and entry tickets to monuments under the Archaelogical Survey of India.
As banks struggled to refill the system with new currency notes, the deadline was extended by another 72 hours, till midnight November 14.
This deadline has now been extended till November 24, official sources said.
Old currency can also be used for purchases at consumer co-operative stores like Kendriya Bhandar with valid ID proof as also for paying court fee.
But payments towards utility bills will be restricted to only individuals or households for arrears and/or current bills. No advance payments will be allowed.
