Guerra ao “dinheiro negro”: Um cidadão indiano recebe uma das novas notas de duas mil rupias que recebeu em troca de cédulas antigas, num banco em Calcutá. O Governo da Índia resolveu avançar para a retirada de circulação de todas as notas com valores nominais de 500 e mil rupias, uma medida destinada a combater o problema do “dinheiro negro”, ou seja, fundos movimentados no mercado paralelo para fugir aos impostos.
