Around 97% of demonetized notes are deposited in the banks. It indicates, unless government put strict anti corruption measurements with strict execution, it is not possible to clean up the economy. No political leader or bureaucrat trapped with very few exception of 2 or 3 incidents. Does it mean that all others are clean?

On the other hand, from benefits point of view, the people forget about the black money of off shore tax heavens and started worrying about their few thousand unchanged demonetized notes. What a joke.

The cleanliness drive should have started from top to bottom and not from bottom to top.

OCI and PIO are NOT included, since they are foreign citizens with foreign passports, and have No Indian citizenship or Indian passport, as they had to relinquish that.

So basically only NRI's are included.

NRI's is a general term used for all Indians abroad, but OCI and PIO card holders are not NRI's, they are foreign citizens.

Note ban: Grace period for exchange doesn’t apply to PIOs/OCIs

If you are OCI or PIO holder, you can't even do that .What a foolish rule .

Only NRI's who are on Indian Passport with Indian citizenship are allowed.

Foreign citizens on Foreign passport, with OCI or PIO card are not allowed to deposit

All OCI and PIO should complain about this ! They want FDI from us, but the same rules like NRI don't apply to us.

OCI and PIO are not NRI's. Lot of people forget that and are confused. OCI, PIO, NRI, Indian resident, so much rubbish and confusion.
