Demonetization is the act of stripping a currency unit of its status as legal tender. In India, the government demonetized Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes on November 8th in an effort to curb black money, fake currency, terrorist funding, and move toward a cashless economy. While there were short term costs like bank lines and economic slowdown, demonetization is expected to increase transparency, tax collection, digitization of the economy, and decrease corruption in the long run. The move constituted over 85% of the total currency in circulation being wiped out overnight.

23. Will demonetization slow down India’s growth…..?
• Yes, Demonetization will slow down growth rate in short term and
medium term because people have less money in hands. So demand is
low, that is why it is hampering our growth rate. But as soon as people get
money, markets will be back on track.
• But its long term gain is “fictional” or say “disputed”. Some people
theoretically says it will benefit the economy as government will have
more revenue but others say giving a electric shock to the economy when
its already under distress business sentiment can send it into coma.
• India is a cash based economy and demonetization will temporarily
decrease liquidity in this economy. Decreased liquidity will lead to
decreased demand which will result in decreased productivity causing a
slowdown in consumer market.
• People have panicked due to sudden demonetization. This will force
them to save and store more money. Thus, a decrease in demand leading
to slowdown in consumer market.
25. Towards A Cashless Economy
• While it is practically impossible to have a 100%
cashless economy, the proportion of hard cash in the
economy will decrease and our economy will get

Withdraw from bank Accounts. People Will go for
online payments.
• They Will use PayTM Or other online payment to
companies for Buying goods or Making payments.

26. So, what has demonetisation done……?
• According to information given to Rajya Sabha by the Union
Minister of State for Finance Arjun Ram Meghwal, there
were 1,716.5 crore pieces of Rs 500 denomination notes
and 685.8 crore pieces of Rs 1,000 notes in circulation as on
November 8, the date on which demonetisation was
announced. That, in value terms, comes to Rs 15.44 lakh
crore. We don’t have figures for total currency or M1 for
this date. But even comparing with the October 28 money
stock data, the value of notes that ceased to be legal tender
worked out to nearly 87% of the total currency in
circulation (both with the public and as cash with banks)
and 56% of M1. Since M1 is the most liquid part of money
supply, it translates into 56% of liquidity in the economy
getting withdrawn overnight
