The Haryana Police claimed to have seized demonetised currency worth Rs 1.43 crore from three persons.
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday said the demonetisation of Rs 500/1,000 notes led to formalisation of economy, more tax collection and higher growth.
As many as 99.3 per cent of the old 500 and 1,000 rupee notes, that were banned overnight in November 2016, have been returned, the Reserve Bank of India said in its annual report.
