"The big step to end black money in the country -this will follow with removal of 1000 rupee note Read carefully RBI to issue ₹2000 Rupees Notes coming February 2017 Not just a piece of paper There is much more in this note Read the full content of this message India is all set to add one more denomination to its currencies shortly. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will be issuing Rs 2,000 currency notes, the highest to come into circulation, even as some experts feel7 high-value denominations should be discontinued to curb black money. The Rs 2000 currency is designed keeping in mind to eradicate the black money issues using state of the art indigenous nano technology, every Rs. 2000 currency note is embedded with a NGC (Nano GPS Chip)

How the embeded NGC Technology Works?
The unique feature of the NGC is it dosent need any power source. It only acts as a signal reflector. When a Satellite sends a signal requesting location the NGC reflects back the signal from the location, giving precise location coordinates, and the serial number of the currency back to the satellite, this way every NGC embedded currency can be easily tracked & located even if it is kept 120 meters below ground level. The NGC cant be tampered with or removed without damaging the currency note

How will this help eradicate black money menace?
Since every NGC embeded currency can be tracked. The satellite can identify the exact amount of money stored at a certain location. If a relatively high concentration of currency is found a certain location for a longer period of time at suspicious locations other than banks & other financial institutions. The information will be passed on to the Income Tax Department for further investigation"

I found this message on whatsapp. How true is this?

Pay them by cheque or a simple account transfer !
I would never pay anything more than 50K in cash.
 
India demonetized Rs 1,000, Rs 5,000 and Rs 10,000 in 1978. But people accumulated black money again after that. This step by Modi is huge but this is not the end of corruption and black money. More long term actions are needed.

Use some logic. GPS tells the receiver where it's location is, by measuring the difference in time from signals received from satellite. How could it work underground? It would have to have some upload capacity send its position to a command centre. How would that be powered? Don't forward obvious lies, people with lesser knowledge will further spread it causing confusion and disruption.

I have the same question. Someone please answer
