Demonetization Impact
PM Modi banned all the 500 and 1000 rs notes in November 2016 and people were given time
to deposit the notes and get them exchanged for new ones. This was done to get rid of
corruption and the black money which the people were holding. Agriculture and industry went
through a negative impact. Banks were also in a lot of pressure because of demonetisation.
Almost 99.3% of the notes were returned to the central bank.
