The Tamil Nadu Petroleum Dealers Association (TNPDA) has urged customers not to believe messages on social media that fuel outlets are accepting ₹2,000 denomination notes only if motorists refuel for that value. The notes will be accepted till the RBI deadline for exchanging them, it said.
Association State president K.P. Murali said several fake messages were doing the rounds and the association planned to lodge a complaint with the cybercrime cell about the same. Various government departments are questioning the veracity of the messages.
