    State Bank is the sole issuer of banknotes in the country ensuring adequate supply of good quality banknotes across the country is amongst its key strategic goals.

    SBP collects soiled and unfit banknotes from the market and replaces them with fresh banknotes. Like other central banks, SBP issues new series of banknotes from time to time and demonetizes the earlier series with the approval of Federal Government. Further, the approval for demonetization of banknotes is granted by Federal Cabinet on the recommendations of SBP Board in terms of section 25(2) of SBP Act, 1956.

    The issuance of new series and demonetization of the old design banknotes helps central banks in checking counterfeiting and ensuring the integrity of banknotes in circulation.

The Federal Government has therefore decided to demonetize old design banknotes of Rs 10, 50, 100 and 1000. These notes have ceased to be Legal Tender effective from 1st December 2016.
