In an unprecedented move, Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing the nation today, announced that tonight onwards Rs 500 and 1000 notes will no longer be accepted as legal tender.
The Prime Minister added that the public has 50 days (from 10 Nov to 30 Dec) to deposit notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 in any Bank or Post office, and exchange these notes for denominations of Rs 100 or lesser.
The major step has been taken to tackle the inflow of black money in the country. And as usual, Twitter has gone totally berserk.
Here are the best Twitter reactions to PM Modi's newest move to curb black money:
