The prime minister has been advocating the switch to mobile banking since he announced the Centre’s decision to scrap the high-value denomination currency. Maintaining that the move will help rid the country of black money and corruption, Modi has urged citizens to bear the hardship of a cash crunch till the December 30 deadline set to exchange or deposit the old notes at banks.
