"Neither SBP/SBP BSC nor banks will exchange or pay any value of such banknote to any person or institution after the above mentioned deadline", the State Bank said in a statement issued today.

 

It may be recalled that Rs. 5 banknote had already been demonetized by the Federal Government and, hence, it cannot be used as a legal tender.

 

However, Rs. 5 banknote can only be exchanged from the field offices of SBP BSC and branches of banks till the close of banking hours on December 31, 2012, the statement added.
