Gurdwaras accept scrapped notes on Gurpurab
On the occasion of Gurpurab, the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev, gurdwara managements accepted the now-invalidated currency notes as donations. They, however, refused to give receipts for such donations, requesting people to put the notes in the golak (offering box). The golak is not opened daily, so it may already contain ₹500 and ₹1,000 notes, a gurudwara employee said.
