any reason for scrapping these two notes,? is they are being replaced with other notes?
I don't get it. Why are some legal notes black money? What if people just exchanges these notes with other notes? What is the difference?
500 and 1000 notes being the largest denominations.. people hoard them. Money off the books or accounts. Money that is not shown as a valid income. sort of like your grey markets. Money that you don't pay tax on.
This is a huge setback for land mafia in India. They are a bunch of Asshole. They will put 60% of the land price they ask in agreements and will only pay tax on that. Rest 40 % is a cash to cash transaction.
Land Mafia is just one example.
Also, this is what money laundering is involved in. Making this money legal again. Or "wash" it clean or white.
