Indian ₹1000 Note First Demonetisation

The question asks for the year the Indian ₹1000 denomination notes were first demonetised.

India has experienced high-value currency demonetisation multiple times. The ₹1000 note, a significant denomination, was indeed demonetised previously.

Historical Demonetisation Event

The first instance of demonetisation for the ₹1000 note occurred in the year 1978. This action was taken by the government to curb unaccounted wealth and illegal transactions involving high-value currency.

Subsequent demonetisations, including that of the ₹1000 note in 2016, have also taken place, but 1978 marks the initial year this specific denomination was withdrawn from circulation for the first time.
