CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury wants data on amount of old currency deposited

The NDA government was attacked by the CPI(M) for not making the data public on the amount of junked currency deposited in banks post note ban.

Taking to Twitter, CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury asked whether the Modi government is "that incompetent" that it is yet to come out with the numbers.

Why don't we have the data on amount of old currency notes deposited even now? Is the Modi government that incompetent? Or complicit?

The government had set a deadline of December 30, 2016 to exchange the notes with banks. NRIs and those who could not deposit the invalidated high-value notes because they were travelling abroad can deposit the old currencies with RBI until March 31 subject to verification.
