New Delhi: As, people are waiting in long queues to exchange currency notes. The Centre tried to simple the process and stated that, those who swapped currency at bank branches would receive an indelible ink mark on their finger, to avoid frequent conversions.

Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das said on Tuesday, that, "the reason for long queues at banks and ATMs is that the same people keep coming again and again at different places. We have received reports that many people are trying to convert black money into white and they have organized groups of people and are sending them to exchange money".

"To solve this problem, we have decided to use indelible ink marks, similar to elections, at cash counters... This will start today in major cities," he added.
