There have been complaints of private medical stores refusing the banned notes

You can now alert the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) if a private pharmacy refuses to accept notes of banned Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 denominations. Based on a rash of complaints that many medical stores are refusing to accept demonetised notes -- they are exempt from the crackdown on high value denomination currency till November 24 -- the FDA has launched a helpline, 1800222365, to allow citizens to report errant pharmacies.
