In the light of demonetisation, Income Tax Department (ITD) initiated Operation Clean Money (OCM) or Swachh Dhan Abhiyan on 31st January 2017 with the objective, to create a tax compliant society through a fair, transparent and non-intrusive tax administration.
Aadhar Legislation will stand the test of constitutionality; Demonetisation helped in reducing the volume of cash transactions and increase in digital payments, widening of the tax base and more formalization of the economy among others; No reverse in financial inclusion process possible for policy makers.
The Government launched a concerted drive against black money with Demonetization being an important step in that direction. Among the main objectives of Demonetization was the flushing out of black money and also conversion of the non-formal economy into a formal economy to expand the tax base. The impact of Demonetization on black money, widening of tax base and Direct Tax Collections is summed up here under:
The Government of India decided to cancel the Legal Tender Status of Rs. 1000 and Rs. 500 denomination currency notes on 8th November 2016 with several objectives: (i) flushing out black money, (ii) eliminate Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN), (iii) to strike at the root of financing of terrorism and left wing extremism, (iv) to convert non-formal economy into a formal economy to expand tax base and employment and (v) to give a big boost to digitalization of payments to make India a less cash economy.
Taking into consideration, the value of SBNs now reported to have been counted, approximately 98.96% of SBNs in value terms have come back to the RBI after demonetization. In other words, only an estimated Rs. 16000 crore worth of SBNs have not come back to the RBI so far.
