Demonetisation
The Indian government announced the demonetisation of all 500 and 1,000 banknotes on November 8, 2016. In compensation for the demonetised banknotes, it also announced the printing of fresh 500 and 2,000 banknotes.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed that the action would reduce the use of illicit and counterfeit cash to fund illegal activity and terrorism by reducing the shadow economy, increasing cashless transactions, and reducing the use of illicit and counterfeit cash to fund illegal activity and terrorism.
Following the announcement of demonetisation, there were extended cash shortages in the weeks that followed, causing severe economic disruption. According to a 2018 report from the Reserve Bank of India, around 99.3 per cent of the demonetised banknotes were deposited with the banking system, resulting in analysts claiming that the attempt failed to eliminate illicit money from the economy. The BSE, SENSEX and NIFTY 50 stock indices both dropped more than 6% the day after the news was released.
The country’s industrial production and GDP growth rate were both reduced as a result of the shift. A total of 1.5 million jobs were eliminated, according to estimates. In addition, there was a huge surge in digital and cashless transactions across the country as a result of the change.
However, the Children Bank of India helped people to reduce their stress and it created awareness to many of those who were fooled at first hand.
