NEW DELHI, June 21 (Reuters) - Amazon (AMZN.O) said on Wednesday it will collect soon-to-be-withdrawn 2,000 rupee ($24) notes from customers in India and credit them to online wallets to help people struggling with the exchange process.
Amazon said its customers can hand over up to 50,000 rupees' worth to delivery agents for orders meant for payment via cash.
The amount will then be credited to their Amazon Pay wallets.
"Don't stress if stores are refusing to accept 2,000 rupee notes for payments," the e-commerce giant said in a statement.
"The facility to top up your Amazon Pay balance with cash handed to delivery agents at your doorstep is one of our unique services in India," Vikas Bansal, whole-time director at Amazon Pay India, said in a statement.
