Adani – Hindenburg Report : Epitome of Loopholes in Indian Democracy
The Supreme Court of India appointed Committee (Expert Committee (EC)) on
the Adani-Hindenburg issue submitted its Report on May 9, 2023. It

These notes are not being withdrawn from circulation, but actually, they will stop circulating right away given that they will have to be deposited in a bank or exchanged for lower denomination notes.
