As per reports of agencies, the
demonetisation of bank notes of Rs.500 and Rs.1000 denomination resulted in
significant positive impact on most theatres of violence in the country.
Since
illegally held cash forms the major chunk of terrorist funding, after the
demonetisation, most of the cash held with the terrorists turned worthless.
Demonetisation also led to instant extinguishment of Pak-printed high quality
fake Indian currency notes. It also adversely affected the hawala operators.
As per the data provided by NCRB, the
denomination wise fake Indian currency notes seized in J & K after
demonetisation i.e. from 09.11.2016 to 14.07.2017 are as under:-
