If you are going to deposit ₹ 2000 notes worth more than ₹ 50,000 in your bank account, then you will have to give PAN card details in the bank. Yes, according to Rule 114B of the Income Tax Act, if a person deposits cash of more than Rs 50,000 in a day through his bank account or post office, then he has to provide PAN card details.
According to this, if you are going to deposit 25 or more notes of ₹ 2000 in your account, then you will have to give the details of PAN card. However, if you deposit an amount of less than Rs 50,000, you are exempted from this rule of showing PAN card.

Now if you want to exchange ₹ 2000 notes in bulk without giving PAN card details, then you will have to visit the bank for more than one day. You can deposit Rs 40,000 a day and then after a few days Rs 40,000 again in the bank account. In such a situation, you can exchange ₹ 2000 notes worth Rs 80,000 without giving PAN card details, because you are depositing only Rs 40,000 in cash in a day.
Let us tell you, if you deposit or withdraw cash of more than Rs 20 lakh in your account in a financial year, then you have to give the details of PAN card and Aadhaar number. In this regard, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) issued a notification on 10 May 2022. This rule is applicable in the country from 26 May 2022.
