New Delhi: While the formal de- cision to effect demonetisation was taken on November 8, con- sultations with the RBI at a very senior level had commenced as early as February, Union finance minister Arun Jaitley said on Tuesday. Replying to questions in the Rajya Sabha, Jaitley said the RBI board had “independ- ently” applied its mind and made the recommendation to de- monetise two high-value cur- rency denominations. “The RBI board in May 2016, as a part of these consultations, had decided to go in for and ap- prove the design and taken the de- cision with regard to the high-de- nomination currency which was required to be printed as a re- placement currency,” he said. “Thereafter... meetings used to be held periodically... where the seniors in the RBI as also in the government were in consultation. Because the decision had to be kept in ut- most secrecy... these were not put into public domain,” he added. Jaitley said eight of the 10 RBI directors were present at the November 8 meeting after which the final recommenda- tion about demonetisation was made to the government. Asked about charges levied on digital transactions, which the government is trying to pro- mote, Jaitley said the RBI was working on it, and that with an increase in volume, the charges would come down. He said the RBI was working to fix the merchant discount rate (MDR) for debit card transac- tions above Rs 2 lakh. Jaitley said under the Payments and Settlements Act, the RBI had held that for cash transactions up to Rs 1,000, the MDR rate would be 0.25% and 0.5% for transactions up to Rs 2,000 . New- er technologies are making digi- tal transactions cheaper and it is expected that more people would move towards them, he said. The FM said demonetisation was one of the steps that the NDA government has taken to curb black money, which also in- clude the formation of an SIT. In a written reply to the RS, Jaitley said over Rs 16,200 crore in black money had been detected by the govern- ment after investigations into global leaks about Indians stashing funds abroad. “As a result of systematic in- vestigations, undisclosed income of about Rs 8,200 crore (including protective assessment of income of Rs 1,497 crore) has been brought to tax in about 2 years on account of deposits made in un- reported foreign bank accounts in HSBC. About Rs 8,000 crore of credits in undisclosed foreign ac- counts of Indians, whose names were disclosed by the Interna- tional Consortium of Investiga- tive Journalists (ICIJ), have been detected,” the FM said. ‘Talks On Cash Ban Began In February 2016’ RBI decided to print, approved designs for new notes in May: FM THE TIMES OF INDIA, PUNE * WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2017 9 TIMES NATION T he government told the Lok Sabha on Tuesday that there was “no widespread distress sale” of farm produce, including vegetables, in rural India in the wake of demonetisation. It said the Centre did not have any reports on agricultural labourers losing jobs, adding that the post note ban situation did not warrant payment of compensation to farmers. The government’s remarks came in response to a question on whether agricultural labourers had reportedly been idle or retrenched on account of demonetisation and if the government would provide compensation and adequate remunerative prices to farmers. “Price is determined by demand and supply and government has in place a mechanism to protect the farmers from distress sale by procuring agricultural produce through central/state agencies,” said the agriculture minister Radha Mohan Singh.
