How Narendra Modi the Prime Minister of India ended Black money and corruption in India in one night !!

in india •  8 years ago 

Narendra Modi in one of the most biggest political move yesterday in an emergency statement banned the current existing 500 rs and 1000 rs note .

 Currently Rs 17,54,000 crore worth of notes are in circulation according to the RBI’s database on the Indian economy.Of this Rs 500 notes constituted almost 45% of the currency in circulation while 39% of the notes were of the Rs 1,000 denomination. In value terms.

However in terms of volume, Rs 10 and Rs 100 notes constituted 53% of the notes in circulation.This measure would mean that from midnight, almost Rs 6,32,600 crore in circulation in the form of Rs 1,000 notes would be illegal tender. 

To replace them, Rs 2,000 notes would be introduced, which according to the government would be limited in circulation.RBI data shows that in 2015-16, almost 6.5 lakh counterfeit notes were detected in commercial banks of which almost 4 lakh were in the Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 category. It is in this context that the government wants to re-monetise the Rs 500 note while de-monetizing the Rs 1,000 note. But the number of Rs 100 counterfeit currency were also close to 2 lakh this year. 


BUNNY THE CORRUPT

 Let's see this situation from the eyes of a corrupt person.

There is a guy, Bunny. Bunny is corrupt and has a lot of black money. Let's say he has about 10 crores. Now he can not store this money in banks.

 (Banks ask for income source, tax and other issues)So to store his money safely Bunny creates some secret lockers behind walls of his house.But 10 crores is massive ammont. 

He can't manage this money in small currency notes. So he converts his money into 1000 rupees notes and then keeps it safe in his secret lockers.Bunny is happy. He can do corruption. Can safeguard his money. And Government had not a single clue about his activities because there are lots of bunnies out there. 

Government can't keep a close eye on every one of them.So, bunny has 100,000,000 rupees. That is100,000 notes of 1000 rupees.Now comes the TWIST in bunny's life.Government demonitizes all 1000 and 500 rupee notes.Bunny has a big problem. His all money worths zero now. 

He must exchange his 1000 rupees notes with smaller currency notes which he can't because for exchanging money, he must give a proof about source of 10 crore rupees.
(to government)

What if, Bunny burns all his money and again acquires black money, but this time in 10 and 100 rupee notes. Naturally it will become harder for him to store that money because he has five times more notes this time. Plus more notes means it becomes harder to use them.

Story ends. 

 This will also lead to Inflation (not overnight)

There will be a lot of people who have a lot of cash, legally earned, which they will deposit it in the bank.Now the bank with more deposits can do more lending.Credit (loans) will become easier and interest rates may come down. More loans given out increases broad money supply and creates inflation. But this will happen slowly, not over-night. 

 Some of the benefits of this move are: (Pros)

  • It will help the government to fight Black money, corruption, terrorism and counterfeit currency with one single decision.
  • Arms smuggling, espionage and terrorist related activities will be choked due to lack of funding.
  • Counterfeit currencies are being used for financing terrorism which is being run by the enemy in India. Now Govt has taken a bold move which enables them to fight counterfeit currency/terrorist funding activities.

As said, this is a very one-sided article. It seems to me that this move causes lots of bad direct effects. When I first saw this news, I assumed those bills were worth enough that they were mostly used (and stockpiled) by criminals - but apparently 500 rupee is just 0.01 BTC, so it's not such a big bill after all - and it's massively used by ordinary people.

India Launches War on Corruption - Hits Cash - Chaos Ensues

BBC - Why India wiped out 86% of its cash overnight

A bold move on the "war-on-cash", but this seems to have much deeper impacts on the ordinary peoples life than what this article gives the impression on.

The BBC article seems fairly balanced though.

This was a very one-sided article, I can see many ways this move can backfire.

The article also fails to explain to us non-Indians how much those notes are worth (i.e. how many rupees does there go on one bitcoin? What is a lakht?) When seeing figures like "Rs 6,32,600 crore" I even realize I don't understand Indian counting.

I see bitcoin prices doing a jump tonight, there may be a correlation ...

Bitcoin is jumping because of victory of Trump , but there is a panic in Indian stock market with about -14% loss in some stocks to -2% but the impact of this policy would be good in long term .

yes , Indeed converting Indian rupee system to American is difficult but I would do the job for u .
632,600,000,000.00 INR = 9,470,022,000.00 USD
The article is not one sided the problem is India suffered from corruption and black money and it has ended with this major policy decision thus 95% Indians are happy except the corrupt people .
India has the most amount of black money in the world stashed in Swiss banks .
1 lakh rupees = $1643.65 U.S
1 crore = 214,431.36 $US

The article is not one sided the problem is India suffered from corruption and black money and it has ended with this major policy decision thus 95% Indians are happy except the corrupt people .

I don't have problems understanding that corruption, tax avoidance and crime are big problems. I don't have problems understanding that most Indians are happy with this. Still, an article that only presents the benefits with this regulation as well as the benefits of a society where all payments are done through credit cards, without discussing drawbacks or problems is very one-sided.

The government is cancelling old notes and printing new one not totally outlawing them .
Drawback :- People are suffering for some days as there is a cash void in the society .
But it would be filled back again and is in the process .

The problem would be that we have to exchange our old currency note with new ones through banks and post office . But this would make all money accounted for in the economy and circulation of rupee in cash form would decrees and would increase the value of Indian rupee in International market

please also mention how can this move backfire ?

Try to look at this from a principal point of view; the fiat bills represents a promise of value, by cancelling those notes the government is breaking promises. It may be a slippery slope, what's next? People may lose confidence in the government, rupee and Indian cash.

Next, this move will not stop the criminals, they will find other ways to store value. US Dollar bills, Euro bills, Bitcoin, gold, Rupee bills with different denominations, etc.

This also supports the credit card duopoly - I think it's pretty bad. Related: https://steemit.com/money/@tobixen/payments-banging-the-head-against-the-wall-for-more-than-a-week-an-ebay-in-customer-experience

the govt is canceling old currency notes and printing news one . it is not totally cancelling notes . 500rs note would be printed again with a new form but to get the new notes u have to submit or exchange the new ones with the banks

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-37975428 - it seems to me that this regulation hurts ordinary people, and not only the corrupt

Very good article . Modi is taking the social media by storm , he will win the next elections . Common people have some problems like standing in lines to exchange currency but I think Indians are happy to do that .
This would harm Pakistan and terrorists .

thank you very much for the appreciation :D much appreciated !! yes Pakistan used to mint fake Indian currencies to finance terrorist activities which has taken a hit .

A cashless society is a very, very bad idea.

its not a cashless society , just the old notes are now made invalid and then they have to be changed with banks .
Cash would always be there in our society .

Good Article.
After reading comments of this article I would like to add something.

  1. For non-Indians, one million = 10 lakhs and one Billion = 100 Crodes.
  2. No, India is not heading for cashless society (at least at this moment). Government has cancelled Rs.500 & 1000 notes but has introduced new 500 note & a new 2000 denomination currency note.
