New Delhi, Nov 21 (IBNS): The Union government has decided to allow farmers to purchase seeds with old 500 rupee notes, according to media reports..

In order to further support farmers for the current Rabi crop, the government said that farmers will be allowed to purchase seeds with the old high denomination bank notes of Rs.500 from the centres, units or outlets belonging to the Central or state governments, public sector u, national or state seeds corporations, Central or state agricultural universities and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), on production of proof of identity.
