PIOs, NRIs feel demonetisation heat |
NRIs and People of India Origin (PIO) are now braving long queues to exchange the old Rs 500/1000 notes at 5 designated RBI branches across India but because of stringent conditions several of them have had to return disappointed. Tempers ran high outside the central bank branches as people coming from long distances were denied entry by guards on the grounds that they were not carrying the requisite documents. Many NRIs complained that they are not allowed to speak to officials who could at least listen to their grievances. This unnecessary harassment simply indicates that PIOs are no more welcome to the country of their birth.
