The document discusses the history and impacts of demonetization in India. It defines demonetization as replacing existing currency with new currency. India has demonetized its currency twice before in 1946 and 1978 by ceasing high-value banknotes. In November 2016, the Indian government launched a surprise demonetization by ceasing the use of 500 and 1000 rupee notes to curb black money. While this led to increased tax collection and pushed digital transactions, it also caused cash shortages and some deaths. The move had shortcomings like disrupting daily transactions and limiting cash flow.
