On November 8, 2016, the government announced demonetization of all 500 and 1,000 Indian rupee banknotes attempting to crack down on illicit and counterfeit cash that was allegedly funding illegal activity and terrorism. This led to weeks of cash shortages, creating a significant disruption in the Indian economy.
