It is a transformation decision taken by the government to ban Rs.500 and Rs.1000 notes from circulation in the market. Obviously, there will be Pros & Cons of Demonetization on software development industry and other industries as well. The decision was taken to minimize the black money and corruption. The RBI will be issuing Rs.500 and Rs.2000 notes from today onward. They have released a statement by saying that all the Rs.500 and Rs.1000 notes are to be deposited at nearby banks or post-offices. This will be a regular currency circulation all throughout India.
PROS & CONS OF DEMONETIZATION
All those people who are panicked with this move by the government need not worry at all as the government has assured that Your money will be yours. You will not lose anything so there is no point in being scared. There will be no restrictions on non-cash payments by cheque, demand draft’s, and electronic fund transfer.
IMPACT OF DEMONETIZATION
Inflation: It will cause deflation in the market as people who have earned money through illegal ways would be afraid to declare the money as they may be prosecuted by the Income-tax department on the legitimacy of their income.
Reduction in Monetary Circulation: This will lead to the reduction of money circulation in the economy leading to deflation. The value of money will be increasing which we have because the total money supply will be going down but the commodities and things available in the market have not gone down. It will lead to inflation slowly but not overnight.
Cash Deposits in Banks: A lot of cash, which is legally earned, will be deposited in the banks and now the banks with more deposits will be able to do more lending.
Easy Loans: Loans will become easier and interest rates may come down. As banks will have more money so more loans will be given out which will increase the money supply in the market and it will create inflation.
ADVANTAGES
As we discussed, there will be Pros & Cons of Demonetization. Here are some of the advantages.
- The major decision, which is made by the government, will help us to eradicate black money, corruption to some extent.
- Due to lack of funding there will be no arms smuggling and all the terrorist activities will also be choked.
- The government has proposed the new limits on ATM withdrawals being restricted to Rs.2000 per day, withdrawal from the bank account is Rs.10000 a day and Rs.20000 a week. It indicates that card transactions will slowly replace the cash transactions in our daily prone activities.
- Exchange of money in banks can only be done producing a valid identity card like PAN, Aadhar card, and electoral card from 10 to 24 November with a daily limit of Rs.4000. By doing so it will be easy for the government to track the money, which is being exchanged in banks. There is no limit if the amount, which we are exchanging, is legal amount.
- Financial Intelligence Unit will track all details of the transactions from the banks. So now it is really difficult to get rid of the black money.
