Finance ministry’s Revenue Department, responding to the query on impact of demonetisation on economic growth by the Parliament's Public Accounts Committee (PAC), has said that note ban will lead to a wider and deeper tax base and also to lower interest rates. It further added that the idle or hidden cash which has come into the formal system after note ban will be utilized for productive purposes.
The department further elaborated that tax evasion is going to be more difficult as now it is easier to track the cash which has returned to banking channels. It also mentioned that increased availability of funds with banks and lowering of interest rates are expected to enhance credit disbursal, promoting investments in productive economic activities and giving boost to growth.
On measures to enhance transparency, Revenue Department said that increasing use of non-cash modes of transactions will promote transparency and will have a lasting positive impact on tax collections, both direct and indirect. It noted that along with other measures for increasing transparency and strengthening enforcement, demonetisation will pave the way for sustainable faster economic growth.
