State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has advised the general public to exchange Rs5 banknotes from the field offices of SBP Banking Services Corporation and the branches of all commercial banks operating throughout the country before 31st December. It may be pointed out that the federal government has already notified that Rs5 banknote will cease to be a legal tender with effect from 1st January, 2012. The central bank, for the benefit of public, has supplied posters in both English and Urdu languages regarding demonetisation and exchange of Rs5 banknote to SBP Banking Services Corporation and commercial banks for placement at prominent places of their field offices and branches as well as at public places.
