High value cash wasn't eliminated. In fact, quite the opposite: previously the highest value note was Rs1000, now it's Rs2000. Although calling $30 high value is a bit of stretch.

Average salary in India is RS18k.. so RS2k is 1/9th of that.

US average salary is ~50k.. so it would be equivalent with a $6,250 note.. which to me sure seems like a high value note.
