Re: Indian Economy News & Discussion - Aug 26 2015

Such checks are used to catch people who do that. As seen in DeMo thread, there's no shortage of people who consider it their ...

Assuming the numbers put out by the Finance Ministry and the RBI on 8 November are correct, one can deduce that about Rs 5 lakh crore of demonetised notes were already in the banking system , leaving only a potential Rs 15.44 lakh crore to be replaced. This implies that nearly a third of the money ...

I think this demonetization will have negative impact on Chinese imports. A lot of imports are under-invoiced to evade the duty, and remaining part is paid by hawala. Mostly the invoicing is done 1/10th of the cost. Now no cash, no hawala.
