“The bold decision to demonitise high value currency notes like Rs 500 and Rs 1000 is the logical outcome of the focus of Prime Minister Modi on wipeing out sources of black money while at the striking at terro financing,” Panda, who is also MD of leading Ferraro-Crome maker, IMFA Group said. The long term of benefit of greater transparency and a system which rewards the tax payers far outweighs the short term disruptions, he said adding “if any I am delighted to add my voice to the many who have rightly welcome this move,”.
