Banks across India will only serve senior citizens in exchanging scrapped Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes on Saturday, officials said on Friday. Though banks will be open, they will function during normal working hours and cater primarily to their customers. Rajiv Rishi, the chairman of the association, confirmed that banks will not be doing any exchange on Saturday, but said senior citizens will not be turned away. “All other services at banks will be operational and tomorrow (Saturday) we will complete our pending work,” he told ANI. The All India Bank Employees Association also supported the move.
