The winter session of Parliament has seen a united opposition confront the Modi government over demonetisation. Stay with us for live updates and latest news.
Those who made and disclosed bank deposits of unaccounted money in the wake of the demonetisation decision on November 8 will have to forego 50% of the amount, a part of which will go into a special fund being created for welfare measures for the poor. In fact, the depositor will be able to access only 25% of the amount as the government has decided to keep the rest locked in for four years as interest-free deposits for the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana.
