measur
es that PM will announce are expected to increase purchasing power of the people and simultaneously boosting demand. PM will try to make the not-so well offs happy, especially the poor and farmers. Relief measures are expected for small and medium enterprises.These are the sections which are perceived to be worst affected by the note ban.
The help to farmers and small and medium enterprises will be via the direct benefit transfer mechanism. That is, cash will be directly transferred to accounts. This was expected as PM Modi is against cash transactions. An income generation scheme is on the cards, where the income will be transferred into accounts.
Then PM may announce further harsh measures against black money. An announcement to seize benami property is expected.
