India Paper Money A Retrospect : 1770-2019

Financial Instruments and 'Hundies' in India have a venerable history. Paper Money, in the modern sense, traces its origins to the late eighteenth century with the issues of private banks as well as semi-government banks (the Bank of Bengal, the Bank of Bombay and the Bank of Madras alluded to as the Presidency Banks).Among the earliest issues were those by the Bank of Hindostan (1770-1832), the General Bank in Bengal and Bahar (1773-75, established by Warren Hastings), the Bengal Bank (1784-91), amongst others. Few of these notes survive.
The Paper Currency Act of 1861 conferred upon Government of India the monopoly of Note Issue bringing to an end note issues of Private and Presidency Banks. Paper currency in India owed much to the intellectual stimulus and personal dynamism of Sir James Wilson, the first Finance Member in the Executive Council of the Viceroy of India. With the early death of Sir James, the task of issuing Government Paper Money in India devolved upon his successor Samuel Laing who substantially modified Wilson's original proposals.
Government of India continued to issue currency notes till the Reserve Bank of India was established on 1st April, 1935. When the one rupee note was reintroduced as a war time measure in August, 1940, it was issued by Government of India with the status of a coin. Government of India continued to issue Rupee one notes till 1994.
The motifs appearing on Indian currency notes reflect the changing socio-cultural ethos and the world-view of the times: buccaneering mercantilism, colonial consolidation, domineering imperialism, the grandeur of empire, to the symbols of National Independence followed up by allegories of progress and finally in the latest series, reminiscing Gandhian values.
after 1991 this paper money turn in to plastic money like debit and credit card and now a days in 2019 we are using it by internet medium via money transfer i personally fells thats after 10 years from now we will not see gandhiji paper notes and money is used only in invisible mode and paper currency vanished from india.

10.06.2019 *AAKASHAYA PATRA SEVEN STAR SMART EDUCATION SERIES PART – 11 :*  VOLUME What is Volume? Volume is simply the number of shares or contracts that trade over a given period of   time, usually a day. The higher the volume, the more active the security. To   determine the movement of the volume (up or down), chartists look at the volume   bars that can usually be found at the bottom of any chart. Volume bars illustrate how   many shares have traded per period and show trends in the same way that prices   do. Why Volume is Important Volume is an important aspect of technical analysis because it is used to confirm   trends and chart patterns. Any price movement up or down with relatively high   volume is seen as a stronger, more relevant move than a similar move with weak   volume. Therefore, if you are looking at a large price movement, you should al...

*AAKASHAYA PATRA WEEKLY MARKET OVERVIEW:* 31.05.2020 Bullish Gap (9336-9334) on Thursday has resulted in the Nifty completing a Bullish Island Reversal pattern. This has resulted in the Nifty challenging the Bearish Gap (Resistance zone) of the Bearish Island between 9533-9731. Once this Gap is overcome, Nifty will challenge the previous intermittent Top at 9889 which is also the failure point for the Bearish Island. It will not be easy to overcome these strong hurdles and in any case if it does, Nifty will find it difficult to overcome the Bearish Gap between 10040-10334. On the downside, the Bullish Gap between 9336-9334 will act as strong Support. Technically Speaking :- Sensex opened the week at 30864, made a high of 32480, low of 30512 and closed the week at 32424. Thus it closed the week with a gain of 1752 points. At the same time the Nifty opened the week at 9099, made a high of 9598, low of 8996 and closed the week at 9580. Thus the Nifty closed the week wi...
