With customers complaining about unable to access the money in their bank accounts and the banking system struggling to cater to their needs post the demonetisation of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes, it is time to turn to these five fun apps made by some enterprising citizens:
Pick The New 500/2000 Notes
Developer: Frimus Technologies Pvt Ltd
Type: Game
Availability: PlayStore, App Store
This app can help you kill time while waiting in lines to withdraw/exchange your money. It’s like the Flappy Bird of demonetisation.
The notes pop up rapidly and your frantic tapping skills are put to the test. Simple, yet addictive.
InTax
Developer: Akshat Jagga
Type: Tax Calculator
Availability: App Store
If you were bamboozled by the table spelling out the tax rates on the amount you deposit, this app does all the math for you. It’s pretty straightforward – type in the amount and hit calculate. Anything below Rs 2,00,000 shows a zero, accompanied by a Bart Simpson GIF. Higher than Rs 2,00,000 gets you a Dilbert GIF. It’s fun to use this App just to see the GIFs that come with the answer – although fair warning – there are only three of them.
Exchange 500/1000 Notes
Developer: Frimus Technologies Pvt Ltd
Type: Prank
Availability: PlayStore, App Store
This one is purely for pranksters. It asks you the put the number of notes and denominations you want to convert. You then have to hold your old note in front of your phone camera so it can ‘scan’ the serial number. Your notes then jump through a washing machine after which you’re made to sit through an extremely long ad. You get a message congratulating you for having ‘deposited your money in the people’s bank’ and you’re asked to enter your name. Next thing you know, a huge ‘PRANKED’ stamp lands on your screen. Lesson: Don’t launder black money!
