Old notes of.Rs.500 and 1000 denominations amounting to about Rs. 2 lakh crores have been deposited to banks. There is sufficient cash available with RBI and Banks.
One of the primary objectives of cancellation of legal tender character of old series of Rs.500/- and Rs.1000/- notes was to check the menace of terror financing through counterfeit currency notes
Probable Reasons as to why the new Rs. 2,000 notes are being issued and actions already being taken before demonetization:
Articles discusses recent Demonetisations of the Higher Denomination Notes (Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000) by Government of India – synopsis, consequence and duties
Guidelines for replacement of existing Rs 500 and Rs 1000 notes with new notes and to understand the procedure of scheme and relevant provisions of Income Tax.
Generation of black money and its stashing abroad in tax havens and offshore financial centres have dominated discussions and debate in public fora during the last two years. Members of Parliament, the Supreme Court of India and the public at large have unequivocally expressed concern on the issue, particularly after some reports suggested estimates of such unaccounted wealth being held abroad. The Finance Minister, while responding to an adjournment motion on the ‘Situation Arising out of Money Deposited Illegally in Foreign Banks and Action Being Taken against the Guilty Persons’ in the Lok Sabha on 14 December 2011 gave an assurance that a white paper on black money would be prepared. This document is being presented to Parliament as a result.
I am talking about the reports and memes which say that you will have to pay almost 95% tax on the old cash you deposit in banks. Some in social media even interpreted that the 200% penalty is on the income, thus you need to pay more than your income.
The present restriction on Cash Withdrawals either from ATM or from the Bank Cash counter is to be relaxed immediately taking cognizance of the untold misery of the common man and the small business entities. As of now one can withdraw Rs. 10,000/- only from Bank on a day subject to an overall limit of Rs. 20,000/- per week
The ban of Rs.500/1000 note in India is creating havoc in the Indian markets. Everybody is either rushing towards banks or towards jeweler market to safeguard the black money.
The Vice Chairman of NITI Aayog, Dr. Arvind Panagariya has said that the crackdown on black money by demonetization will bring down the inflation.
