But as salaries got credited for the first time after the demonetisation move, on Wednesday, chaos ensued outside banks as people queued up to withdraw their money. Serpentine queues witnessed outside banks as people came to withdraw money to pay domestic helps, drivers, grocers. Low withdrawal limit , long queues, mandatory ID cards for deposits, out of cash banks angered people on their salary day. I came to withdraw Rs 24,000 but was allowed only Rs 10,000. Bankers felt that if they go by the RBI upper limit, they will be able to serve only some of their customers -- while the queues outside keep getting longer.
