Demonstration had made everyone stand in queues. Lot of elderly people lost their life. The acute cash crunch came as a huge problem for everyone. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that demonstration drive, would check tax evasion, corruption and counterfeiting but it created a lot of problems for a common man.
A huge cash crunch followed, driving millions of Indians into long lines at banks, and the PM in an emotional speech asked for “just 50 days” till December 30 to resolve problems. Although after we just make entry into New Year we also witness some ease in money flow but opposition is continuously accusing BJP for the poor implementation of the order. Finance Minister,Arun Jaitley has pointed to improved tax collections to dismiss reports of economic disruption after the notes ban
Demonstration has also come up with lots of benefits too. The Finance Ministry’s Statistics Office has predicted strong economic growth in the current fiscal year that ends in March. Gross Domestic Product is estimated to expand by an annual 7.1 per cent in the current fiscal year, slower than a provisional growth of 7.6 per cent in 2015/16. But the forecast does not fully take into account the impact of the notes ban.
