Modi’s decision to withdraw currency notes of bigger denomination ,no doubt , temporarily created a public inconvenience in India but in the long run it will boost Indian economy by enabling the government to recover a big amount as tax.The owners of black money would have to pay 45 percent of it to tax authorities to get it whitened and a fair amount of hidden money would thus go to the government coffer.Can’t we follow suit by withdrawing currency notes of Rs5000 1000 and 500 from our markets? What a pity that our governments, both past and present, have been ,instead,giving tax amnesty schemes to the hoarders of black money enabling them to whiten their black money by paying only 2 percent as tax which is peanuts.
