I’m writing this post as i think this issue should bring to your notice that some commercial establishments and shop keepers are not Accepting ₹10 Coins. Some says they are not accepting the said coins and the reason behind is that their Bank also not accepting these coins. 

Some even not accepting as they have doubt over its originality. They are refusing to accept ₹ 10  coin without the rupee(₹) symbol though the RBI has cleared the rumors and  said it is a legal tender and not fake. And Here the banks are not accepting it with no strong reasons. Some banks even say that it shouldn’t be deposited in the banks as it is for circulation in the market for making changes available. 

Not only Banks, even post offices refusing to accept the said coins, this happened when my friend Farid Barbhuiya went to the Post office for purchasing IPO’s, and he paid the amount in Coins, but the clerk refused to accept the coin and asks for other denomination. When he asks the reason for that, they said nothing but told him go to any shop and exchange the coins with notes. Then he offered them to accept half of the amount in coins and half in notes, they refused it too. Then he aks them to give a reason in written for not accepting the said coins. Eventually, they accepted with having no other way as the matter may go beyond control. 

The incident happened to me also, few days back in a small tea stall when I drink a cup of tea in Silchar near Mediland Hospital in Itkhola, that time i had a ₹10 coin and a ₹500 rupee note. But, the shopkeeper refused to accept the coin at any cost and said that nobody accpts thses coins he already had few coins in his cash. As I had no other option he even said to pay the money later but refused to accept the ₹10 coin. The Indian  ₹10 coin is the highest denominated coin available and being circulated in India since 2005.
