    DeMo was imposed to control fake currency besides skimming Black money. What happened to the modern technique of incorporating a micro chip that only specialized section could detect ? Aren't the banks given the technique ? Even RBI couldn't detect it when the currency was submitted for deposit ? How you will detect now ?

    Go, take a torch and search like you searched for Black Money ! Digital India that the Superman was boasting about !

    Nevertheless, how will RBI account for that Crore now ? Take it from PM Cares fund where large businessmen donated in volume of 100 or 200 crores.

    Another failed promise and challenge by Chowkidar Modi during Demonitisation in 2016 that it's impossible to replicate notes after all black money has been withdrawn and new notes have been put in circulation with sophisticated technology.
    For every fake promise there is a fake currency. Now it's in crores that too deposited in prestigious RBI. Only one group comes to my mind who can do this with clean chit assurance and guarantee.
