According to the central bank**, the People's Bank of China recently imposed financial penalties on two units that refused to accept RMB cash in accordance with the law. The refusal of these units to accept RMB cash has violated China's "Regulations on the Administration of Renminbi" and the "Renminbi Law of the People's Republic of China" and seriously affected the normal circulation of renminbi and social and economic order.
It is understood that the two units were an insurance company and an automobile sales company, respectively, and were punished for refusing to accept RMB cash. The People's Bank of China fined the two units 190,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan respectively, and issued warnings and fines to those responsible.
For the public, if they encounter the refusal to accept RMB cash, they can rely on the People's Bank of China Announcement (No. 18 of 2020), which clearly stipulates the legal status and circulation scope of RMB, and no unit or individual may refuse to accept RMB cash for any reason. The public can complain or report to the People's Bank of China, and can also protect their legitimate rights and interests through legal channels.
The occurrence of this incident also reminds us that as consumers should pay attention to the payment method requirements of merchants when shopping, and if we encounter the refusal to accept RMB cash, we should resolutely safeguard our legitimate rights and interests, and at the same time strengthen publicity and education, improve the public's awareness and respect for RMB, and promote the normal circulation and use of RMB.
Netizens are hotly discussed: Many places do not accept RMB, especially supermarkets and convenience stores do not accept RMB, a very rampant attitude says either you don't buy, or just scan the code to pay, the elderly and children are not all will, many of them still use cash
I think we should be considerate, sometimes people don't want to take cash, and you just keep holding on to others, which is not good!?
If it is an administrative payment, you can call **to the mayor** or log in to the local online government platform to report.
Why refuse it?Although it is very convenient to virtualize currency now, there are really many elderly people who use it!Know that things are moving fast, but not everyone can keep up!
Every time I see the old man panicking, I feel so pitiful.
However, the renminbi is legal tender. It seems to be illegal to refuse it
