On 8 November, 2016, the Government of India announced the demonetization of all Rs. 500 (US$7.80) and Rs.1,000 (US$16) banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi Series. The
government claimed that the action would curtail the shadow economy and crack down
on the use of illicit and counterfeit cash to fund illegal activity and terrorism. Prime
Minister of India Narendra Modi announced the demonetization in an unscheduled live
televised address at 20:00 Indian Standard Time (IST) on 8 November, 2016.

23 Yearly News Letter - 2017 For details visit : www.bvimr.com
The biggest advantage of demonetization is that it helps the government to track people who
are having large sums of unaccounted cash or cash on which no income tax has been paid
because many people who earn black money keep that money as cash in their houses or in
some secret place which is very difficult to find and when demonetization happens all that
cash is of no value and such people have two options one is to deposit the money in bank
accounts and pay taxes on such amount and second option is to let the value of that cash
reduced to zero.
Since black money is used for illegal activities like terrorism funding, gambling, money
laundering and also inflating the price of major assets classes like real estate, gold and due to
demonetization all such activities will get reduced for some time and also it will take years
for people to generate that amount of black money again and hence in a way it helps in
putting an end this circle of people doing illegal activities to earn black money and using that
black money to do more illegal activities.
Another benefit is that due to people disclosing their income by depositing money in their
bank accounts government gets a good amount of tax revenue which can be used by the
government towards the betterment of society by providing good infrastructure, hospitals,
educational institutions, roads and many facilities for poor and needy sections of society.
With cash transactions facing a reduction, alternative forms of payment will see a tremendous
surge in demand. Digital transaction systems, E-wallets (like PayTM, Freecharge etc.) and
apps, online transactions using E-banking, usage of Plastic money (Debit and Credit Cards),
etc. will definitely see substantial increase in demand.
