Notes ban was an "ill-fated and ill-thought exercise": Manmohan Singh

It will be remembered for government's economic misadventure, he said

Cash ban made it difficult to evade taxes, pushed e-transfer: Jaitley

New Delhi: 

Former prime minister Manmohan Singh today shared his scathing assessment of demonetisation as intense political sparring between the government and the opposition marked the second anniversary of the cash ban. "It is often said that time is a great healer. But unfortunately, in the case of demonetisation, the scars and wounds of demonetisation are only getting more visible with time," he said in a statement.

"I urge the government to restore certainty and visibility in economic policies. Today is a day to remember how economic misadventures can roil the nation for a long time and understand that economic policymaking should be handled with thought and care," said the former prime minister.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, in a strong defence posted on Facebook, called the notes ban a "key step in a chain of important decisions taken by the government to formalize the economy". The cash ban had also made it difficult to evade taxes, pushed digital transactions and helped improve tax collection, he said.

Manmohan Singh, calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi's overnight ban on Rs 500 and 1,000 notes on November 8, 2016, an "ill-fated and ill-thought exercise", said "the havoc it unleashed on the Indian economy and society is now evident to everyone." The cash ban, he said, impacted every single person, regardless of age, gender, religion, occupation or creed.
