Hi Srini This comes under Defacing of notes, it holds good for all notes including Rs. 2000. In practice, these notes gets circulated easily and if there is any problem, it can be exchanged at any banks. Again, this holds good for damaged and mutilated notes too. This is taken care in RBI's note refund rules.

Because As per RBI, nothing should be written on the new notes and if there are any such writings, note will become invalid. Official told me in such a situation, blind consumers can exchange those notes in the bank; though there is no official notification as such to this effect, but they do help understanding the situation.
