The document discusses Nandan Nilekani's support for India's demonetization policy announced in November 2016. It summarizes Nilekani's views that demonetization will accelerate financial inclusion, boost digital transactions, and formalize the economy. This will help India transition from being data-poor to data-rich. While demonetization may cause short-term economic slowdown, digitization will compensate over the long-term through increased economic growth and reduced black money.

1. Demonetization- The Good in Disguise
A history was created in the great saga of Indian Economy on 8th
November 2016, when the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra
Modi, announced the withdrawal of Rs. 1000 and Rs. 500 from
the list of legal tender. This created quite a stir in the public and
they stood divided on the view if Demonetization is good or not
worth the trouble.
Yesterday, Nandan Nilekani, who shaped the world's largest
biometric database with India's Aadhaar project,in a statement
supported the step and stated certain points on how Demonetization will prove good for
India. He is confident that the government's ban on 500 and 1,000 rupee notes will ensure
that financial inclusion rises. Mr Nilekani, co-founder of IT giant Infosys, predicated that
digital transactions will shoot up considerably in the next 3-6 months to a rate that would else
have taken 3 to 6 years. He also said that any short-term retrenchment in economic growth
will be compensated for very quickly with digitization. A lot will depend on the next three
months. If the digitization is accelerated long-term, it will be a very good development and
will benefit everybody. According to him the demonetization drive will accelerate the roll out
of digital financial services in India supported by Aadhaar, UPI, USSD and micro ATMs.
He also said that the more important thing is when the economy becomes formal, when
everybody’s financial transactions are digitized, India is going to go from data poor to data
rich and that will make it more and more complex for people to do dishonest things or to be
outside the system. This will reduce the amount of black money in the system.
The highlights:
 A big step for financial inclusion.
 The long journey of getting Indians into formal economy will be accelerated.
 Economic growth will bounce back.
 The currency ban will give a boost to digital transactions. It has its own set of long-
term benefits.

will lead to long-term benefits.
