Although 10 rupees coins are actively traded across India, people of Tripura, especially Agartala are acting differently.

Both buyers and sellers in Tripura are reluctant to accept coins of ten rupees.

State Bank of India has taken initiatives to reduce the reluctance among people.

Some officials of the bank gathered in front of an ATM at Battala adjacent to the Joynagar area and urged people to use coins.

It has been reported that people of Tripura are refusing to use 10 rupees coins for many days.
The initiative is taken to eliminate the problem by changing the mentality of people.

While speaking to media, multiple shop owners stated that customers do not accept 10 rupees coins for which they also hesitate to take such coins. Some of them also said that they are not aware of procedures for involving banks to deal with the problem.

Hopefully the awareness campaign would address the problem up to a certain extent.
