A revolutionary news coming in from the Speech of Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi which began at 8 PM today. This is totally to stop & block the black money. Rs.500 & Rs.1000 notes will become completely invalid from 9th November midnight onwards.
This message was being circulated a lot on social media but i personally ignored some of them thought that it might be fake message.

You can get all your money exchanged by 30th December, 2016. The banks will be closed on November 9.
Why such steps has been taken by Our PM ?
In the recent years, India has faced all types of tragedies & ill-treatments whether it is related to terrorism, corruption, poverty, Illiteracy, etc. The Government has come to the conclusion that Black Money is the one that is holding India back from what it is looking to achieve.
Modi, Earlier had announced that people can declare their income by September 30 and no action will be taken against them and as a result of that, 1.5 Lakh Crores were recovered by the Govt.
After this move, people having illegal money will have no option but to see their black money turning into useless paper and counterfeit notes of fake notes will also be eradicated from the country which will lead to a rapid reduction in Black Money and Terrorism. This is the reason, this is a bold and good move by the Government.
Benefits of this Move ?
1) Recovery of Black Money will be faster like never before
2) Real Estate Prices, Higher prices, healthcare to come within the reach of common citizens
3) Funding for arms smuggling, espionage, terrorists to be choked
4) Circulation of large volume of counterfeit currency to end
Maximum Value Note will be Rs.100 ?
The Answer to this question is No, As our Government is bringing Rs.500 & Rs.2000 notes which will be soon circulated countrywide. Think if you are buying some appliances you need to pay multiple Rs.100 notes which will be so much bulky to carry.
New Fact: The new notes will be called Mahatma Gandhi’s series of bank notes and carry a picture of Delhi’s Red Fort. The 2000 rupee note that is being introduced carries an image of the Mangalyaan to celebrate India’s Mars mission. Isn’t awesome?
