In a move to tackle black money in the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday announced that the current Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes will not be valid after midnight.

Modi said people holding notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 can deposit the same in their bank and post office accounts from November 10 till December 30.
