2. Currency Chests

In order that the Bank's obligations may be satisfactorily discharged without recourse to extensive and frequent physical remittance of notes and coins between various centres, the Bank maintains currency chests of its own at treasuries and branches of the banks at all important centres. In the State of Orissa, there are 130 Currency chests, the list of which is provided in the end. These currency chests are intended to facilitate the distribution, exchange and remittance of notes, including one rupee notes and rupee coins and small coins.

(ii) RBI has launched a special drive under its clean note policy to withdraw all soiled and mutilated notes from the members of public and put in its place fresh and clean notes. In order to facilitate the members of public, to exchange such notes, RBI has delegated powers to all the 130 currency chest branches in Orissa to exchange soiled, torn, damaged/ mutilated/ defective notes. Soiled and cut notes should also be accepted over bank counters in payment of Government dues and for credit of accounts of the public maintained with banks. Reserve Bank of India, Bhubaneswar has opened three special counters, two for exchange of soiled notes of all denominations and one solely for exchange of mutilated notes. Notes which have turned extremely brittle or badly burnt, charred or inseparably stuck up together and therefore can not withstand normal handling, are also accepted at RBI Bhubaneswar for adjudication under a Special Procedure.

Why currency in circulation is liability in the central bank?

Currency in circulation is considered a liability for the central bank because it represents an obligation to the holders of that currency. When the central bank issues banknotes, it effectively promises to honor the value of that currency, making it a claim against the bank's assets. This liability must be balanced by the bank's assets, which typically include government securities and foreign reserves. As such, the total amount of currency in circulation reflects the central bank's responsibility to redeem that currency when presented.
