India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on November 8 that that 500 and 1,000 rupee ($7.50, $15) bills — 85 percent of the cash in circulation — would cease to be legal tender in a crackdown on fraud and tax evasion. The move — which saw the notes withdrawn from circulation just hours after the announcement — was initially welcomed, but frustrations have mounted in the largely cash-reliant country where millions have been left without enough to cover their daily needs.
