Less than seven years after they came into our lives, it’s time to bid farewell to India’s purple Rs 2,000 notes. That’s what the Reserve Bank of India announced last week.
The finance secretary assured the public that the move will not cause “any disruption either in normal life or in the economy”, but no one can forget the circumstances under which the notes were introduced in the first place – the Narendra Modi government’s demonetisation move of November 2016.
