As per rules one is not supposed to carry the currency of the country one is visiting. There are limits as to how much can be carried. Foreign tourists of non Indian origin should not have any Indian currency and can exchange their dollars for rupees at airport or other money changers. Returning Indians can deposit the rupees (if they are carrying) by depositing them in their account.

 The Government has directed airlines to ensure, tickets using now withdrawn Rs. 500 and 1000 notes directly from counters at airports are non refundable. The Governments to airline operators came amid concerns that unscrupulous elements could be using air ticket booking as a means to convert their unaccounted cash in to legal transactions by canceling the bookings later and take back the refund.

Now government order to not refund whole amount in cash and deposit it in bank accounts.

You see how clever are these Black money holders  are.  The idea is, these bad elements use now  withdrawn currency notes for buying the airline Tickets. Then cancel the Tickets. Thus they are converting Black in to white so easily, That's why all the airlines in the country are instructed not to refund the money
