CURRENCY NOTES OF RS.500/- AND RS.1,000/- DEMONITISED AND CANCELLED BY THE GOVT.AND AFTER EFFECTS OF SAME.
1. THAT DUE TO DEMONITISATION OF RS.500/- AND RS.1,000/- DENOMINATION INDIAN CURRENCY NOTES THE MODI GOVT HAS TAKEN VERY GOOD DECISION TO GIVE A STRONG BLOW TO THE WRONG DOERS .WHO ARE ACCUMULATING HUGE WEALTH WITHOUT PAYING ANY TAXES TO THE GOVT. AND ILLEGAL TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING CASH WERE SEVERELY AFFECTED. AND DUPLICATE AND FAKE CURRENCY NOTES WHICH WERE IN CIRCULATION DUE TO FOREIGN ENEMY COUNTRIES INVOLVEMENT ALL THEIR ACTIVITIES WERE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. FOR THIS SHRI NARENDRA MODI, THE DASHING PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA DESERVES THE CREDIT FOR SUCH A BOLD AND STRONG STEP.
2. THAT THOUGH LONG TERM BENEFITS WILL BE THERE DUE TO THIS DECISION , SEVERAL PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES ARE FACED BY THE COMMON MEN AND WOMEN FOR WIDRAWING THEIR OWN HARDEARNED MONEY FROM THE BANKS. ONE CAN SEE LONG CUES BEFORE THE A.T.M.MACHINES TO WIDRAW THE CASH AS PER CASH LIMITS WHICH KEEP ON CHANGING EVERY NEXT DAY. EVEN BANKS WITH LIMITED STAFF ARE OVERBURDENDED WITH ADDITIONAL WORK OF EXCHANGING OLD CURRENCY NOTES OF SAID DENOMINATION WITH NEW CURRENCY NOTES . THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PROPER HOME WORK TO EXECUTE THE SAID DECISION TO AVOID SERIOUS PROBLEMS FACED BY THE COMMON PERSON TO GET NEW CURRENCY NOTES.
3. THAT THE CURRENCY NOTES ARE AS GOOD AS A CHEQUE ISSUED BY THE GOVT , IT IS A PROMISE TO PAY THE SAID AMOUNT TO THE HOLDER OF SAID CURRENCY. HENCE ALL CONCERNED AUTHORITIES SHOULD TAKE PROMPT STEPS TO SORT OUT THE DIFFICULTIES FACED BY COMMON MEN AND WOMEN AND BUSNISS CUMMUNITY AND EVERY INDIVIDUAL.
4. THAT PRECAUTION SHOULD BE TAKEN BY CONCERNED GOVT AUTHORITIES AND ALL CONCERNED THAT DUE TO SUDDEN DEMONITISATION OF SAID CURRENCY NOTES, SUPPLY AND CIRCULATION OF CASH IN THE BUSINESS CIRCLES AND SMALL TRADERS LIKE VEGITABLE VENDORS AND WHOLESALE AND RETAIL TRADERS IN AGRICULTURE PRODUCE , DAILY RATED WORKERS WHO GET DAILY WAGES IN THE FORM OF CASH, AND ALL INDUSTRY, BUSINESS , TRADE AND COMMERCE AND NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS ARE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. THERE IS SUDDEN SLOWDOWN IN THE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND ONE CAN EASILY MAKE OUT FROM FALLING SHARE PRICES AND INDEX AND RISING GOLD AND SILVER PRICES, IT IS AN INDICATOR OF TENDENCY OF COMMON PERSON TO HOLD CASH AND PROLONG THE EXPENSES. HENCE IT IS ADVISIBLE THAT THE ALL CONCERNED GOVT AND OTHER AUTHORITIES SHOULD TAKE URGENT STEPS TO SOLVE THIS INVITED PROBLEM OF SHORTAGE OF NEW CURRENCY NOTES WHICH MAY UNFORTUNATELY LEAD TO RECESSION IN THE MARKET. EVEN POLICE DEPT WITH LIMITED FORCE, IS ALSO FACING ADDED PRESSURE TO CONTROL THE CROWD OF CITIZENS WILLILNG TO EXCHANGE THE CURRENCY.
5. THAT THE ARREARS OF GOVT.TAXES ARE COLLECTED AND BANKS ARE GETING HUGE DEPOSITS DUE TO THIS DECISION. BUT COOPERATIVE BANKS ARE FACING PROBLEMS AS THEY ARE RESTRICTED BY RBI FOR EXCHANGING THE NOTES HENCE EVEN A PETITION IS FILED AT THE HIGH COURT FOR PROPER REMEDY.
6. THAT EVEN IN COURTS ACCUSED PERSONS WHO WERE GRANTED BAIL ORDERS , CASH SECURITY ORDERS FOR THEIR RELEASE ON BAIL ARE FACING SERIOUS PROBLEMS TO GET NEW CURRENCY NOTES TO PROVIDE FOR SURETY AND CASH SECURITY AND INNOCENT PERSONS ARE HELD IN JAIL DUE TO NON COMPLIANCE OF BAIL ORDERS DUE TO SHORTAGE OF NEW CURRENCY NOTES AND DIFFICULTIES TO GET NEW NOTES. HENCE URGENT SOLUTION OF THIS NEWLY INVITED PROBLEM SHOULD BE FOUND TO AVOID INCONVENIENCE TO ALL CONCERNED.
7. THAT THOUGH THE DECISION OF GOVT TO DEMONITISE THE CURRENCY NOTES OF RS.500/- AND RS.1,000/- IS A VERY GOOD DECISION BUT SOME PREPLAINING AND PROPER ARRANGEMENTS TO ISSUE NEW CURRENCY NOTES TO REPLACE OLD NOTES SHOULD HAVE AVOIDED THE IRREPAIRABLE LOSS AND HARDSHIPS FACED BY THE COMMON PERSONS.
8. THAT IF SAME DENOMINATION NEW NOTES WERE RELEASED TO REPLACE OLD NOTES WITH SUFFICIENT STOCK OF SAME WITH THE BANKS ,THEN THE SERIOUS ADVERSE EFFECT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.
INDIA IS A FAST DEVELOPING COUNTRY AND THE PROGRESS OF INDIA SHOULD BE MAINTAINED BY ALL ECONOMIC EXPERTS TO GIVE SUGGESTIONS AND HELP ,TO THE IMPLIMENTATION AUTHORITIES TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
THIS IS JUST OBSERVATION AND SUGGESTION , THE EXPERTS IN APPROPRIATE FIELD CAN SUGGEST BETTER.
GOOD LUCK.
