Along with his tweet, the prime minister also shared a graphic on how demonetisation has ensured better tax compliance, improved tax and GDP ratio, made India a lesser cash based economy and gave a boost to national security.

Also, the BJP while hitting out at the opposition party for criticising the move, said, "Demonetisation was an "attack" on corruption and black money that were rampant during the "lost decade" of the Congress-led UPA government."

Demonetisation was good for the country, BJP national spokesperson Rajeev Chandrasekhar said. It resulted in cleaning up of the economy, formalisation of the informal sector and revenue aggregation, he told a press conference at the party's headquarters here on the fourth anniversary of demonetisation.

"Demonitisation had dealt a body blow to the systemic financial corruption and black money economy. Since then, it has simultaneously invigorated formal economy and brought unprecedented financial benefits to all sections of society," Chandrasekhar said.

From 2014, the Modi government embarked on transforming the economy and demonetisation was part of it to ensure government resources reach the poor and the downtrodden without corruption and leakage, Chandrashekhar said.

"Demonetisation had three significant and tangible impacts -- cleaning up of the economy, formalisation of the informal sector as it helped us to reach the poor and needy, and revenue aggregation," the BJP leader said.

Chandrasekhar said the economic transformations or decisions taken by Modi government in the last six years had an overall positive impact on the Indian economy.

On November 8, 2016, Prime Minister Modi announced the decision to ban all currency notes of higher denomination of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 from midnight.
