The government's crackdown on “shell companies“ has shown that around 35,000 of the 2.24 lakh companies, whose names have been struck off, deposited over Rs 17,000 crore post-demonetisation, which was later withdrawn, raising suspicion of wrongdoing. In one case, a company with a negative opening balance on November 8, 2016, when PM Narendra Modi announced that Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes were being junked, deposited and withdrew Rs 2,484 crore post-de monetisation.
