"Public is requested to freely use notes they have rather than holding them," Mr. Gandhi said.
According to RBI, banks have issued Rs 4.61 lakh crore to public since Nov. 8-9 through ATMs and bank counters.
"RBI has issued 21.8 billion pieces of banknotes of various denominations since demonetisation," Mr. Gandhi said.
