Exactly 68 years ago in the same month of October 1949 , The constituent assembly was discussing the article of the constitution giving power to the President of India to declare the financial emergency in the country. The ultimate result on the financial emergency finally placed uner Article 360. The said discussion started by a note which tested the present time and quiet relevant today.
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.
If one looks at the trend in economic growth, it is seen that gross value added in the economy has been slowing down with 7.9% in 2015-16, 6.6% in 2016-17 and just 5.6% in Q1 of 2017-18. On the same lines, industrial capacity utilization as well as industrial production has been slipping. Not only this, fiscal deficit and interest rates have also been declining. While all this was happening, demonetization and GST came along which added to disruption of economy.
