Mumbai: Renu Kulkarni, a 33yearold homemaker from Mumbai, has managed to save Rs. 30,000 in the last two years. Setting aside small amounts from her husband's monthly earnings, her hidden purse has helped the family tide over tough times in the recent past. But now, she is in a fix. The 30,000 rupees that she had saved are all in denominations of 500 and 1000 which have now been discontinued. "I have about 25 to 30 thousand worth 500, 1000 rupee notes.

account.  

Savitri Pandey too had saved money in denominations of 500 and 1000 notes.

"I used to save how much ever I could from the money my children used to give me for daily expenses in Mumbai. Sincemost of the money I have saved is in 500 and 1000 notes, now I will have to pay 10,000 to travel to my village and bringit here, what will I be left with in the end?" she asked.

Hidden inside kitchen jars, under the mattress or stashed away in trunks, many Indian housemakers have mastered theart of concealing small amounts of money received from their husbands each month. But with 500 and 1000 rupee notesnow demonetized, many now find that their savings have suddenly lost its worth.

The number of homemakers faced with the prospects of having to disclose their savings to family members and worryingabout exchanging their currency, could be staggering.

"If you are talking of India's population of 1.3 billion people and assuming there are four people per household, hence300 million households in total. At least 50 per cent of these households will be falling into this bracket facing theconundrum of having to adapt to this demonetization," said Madan Sabnavis, Chief Economist at CARE Ratings.
