It is clarified at the outset that there is sufficient cash in the RBI vaults and currency chests," the Central Bank of the country said in a statement here. 
It further said that printing of notes has been ramped up in all the four note presses.

Srinagar, Feb 13: A CRPF jawan was martyred and two Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants, who were holed up in a building near battalion headquarters of CRPF in Karan Nagar area of Srinagar, were killed in more than 27 hour-long encounter with security forces.
The martyred jawan was identified as Mujahid Khan. The encounter ensued after alert sentry foiled a fidayeen attack on their camp early on Monday.
'Both the militants have been killed. The operation to sanitise the area is still going,' official sources told on Tuesday.
They said that with the first light, security forces launched an assault on the building where the militants were holed up for the past 24 hours.
They said security forces used UBGL and mortars besides explosives to blast the concrete under construction building as militants were often changing their position from one room to another. Intermittent firing could be heard during the night.
A resident said that firing started at 0615 hrs. 'We also could hear loud explosion near the site of encounter,' he said.
A group of two militants made an unsuccessful attempt to enter the battalion headquarters of CRPF when they were challenged by an alert sentry on the main gate. However, the militants managed to escape and entered a nearby building, a senior CRPF officer said. The area was immediately cordoned off after additional security forces and Special Operation Group (SOG) of Jammu and Kashmir police were rushed from different areas.
The contact was established with the militants holed up in the building at 0930 hrs on Monday when security forces opened fire.
The entire area has been cordoned off. All roads, in the area have been closed for any traffic or pedestrian movement. The main road to downtown, including SMHS hospital from civil lines, has been closed for any traffic. Vehicles are being directed to take alternative routes, including Qamarwari and Khanyar areas.
