There is, therefore, a clear upswing in the new tax filers during the period 2016-17 and 2017- 18, which can be attributed to higher level of compliance due to transfer of cash into the formal channels as a result of demonetisation,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p> Also, the number of ITRs by corporate taxpayer rose by 17.2 per cent in FY18, which was more than 5 times higher than the growth rate of 3 per cent in 2016-17 and 3.5 per cent in 2015-16.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The demonetisation of bank notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 denomination resulted in significant positive impact on most theatres of violence in the country. Since illegally held cash forms the major chunk of terrorist funding, after the demonetisation, most of the cash held with the terrorists turned worthless,&#8221; Chaudhary said.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-10\" id=\"trade-3743252473\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- in_content_3_news -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4023722985638610\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2969612066\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p> Post demonetisation, the flow of high-quality FICN reduced considerably, he added.<\/p>\n<p> Providing data on FICN, he said the number of such pieces fell considerably during 2016-17 to 2020-21, from 7,62,072 to 2,08,625.
