Abstract Demonetization is an act of seizing a currency unit of its status as legal
tender. Demonetization is necessary whenever there is a need to change
national currency. The government claimed that the action would “curtail
the shadow economy and crack down on the use of illicit and counterfeit
cash to fund illegal activity and terrorism”. Demonetization in India
affected stock market, where market indices dropped to six months low in
the week following the announcement of demonetization. BSE crashed
around 1689 points and NIFTY over 541 points. Hence there is a need to
understand how much the demonetization has affected the stock prices and
to analyse the stock price movement pre and post demonetization. The
study investigates the reaction of investors to demonetization releases as
reflected in the price movements of common stocks during a
demonetization. The event study methodology is used with stockprices to
measure the stock market reaction by creating Cumulative Abnormal
Returns.
The Objectives of the study were to measure the returns of the selected
stocks, pre and post demonetisation, using Holding Period Return and to
find the expected returns of the selected stocks pre-and post -
demonetisation, using CAR to study the impact of Demonetization on stock
prices of selected sectors. This study focuses on impact of demonetization
on stock prices of 5 selected sectors, Logistics, Hotel, Domestic Appliance,
Personal Care and Food Processing. 5 companies in each sector were
considered for this study. The closing prices of stocks were used to find the

returns, starting from 1st July 2016 to 30th November 2016 which consists of
data of 4 months before demonetization and 1 month after demonetization.
MacKinlay (1997) argues that "given rationality in the marketplace, the
effects of an event will be reflected immediately in security prices” Since the
reaction of shareholders are always happen immediately after an event,
post study has been conducted with one month data.

1. Introduction
Demonetization is the act of stripping a currency unit of its status as legal
tender. It occurs whenever there is a change of national currency. The current
form or forms of money is pulled from circulation and retired, often to be -
replaced with new notes or coins. Demonetization is necessary whenever there
is a need to change national currency. The highest demonetization note printed
by the Reserve Bank of India, Rs 10,000 note was demonetized in January 1946
and again in January 1978. On 8 November 2016, the Government of India
announced the demonetisation of all ₹500 and ₹1,000 banknotes. RBI
announced around 99% of demonetized amount has been deposited into banks
i.e., Rs15.28 trillion out of Rs15.44 trillion as on Aug 31, 2017. The government
claimed that the action would “curtail the shadow economy and crack down on
the use of illicit and counterfeit cash to fund illegal activity and terrorism”. The
sudden nature of the announcement and the prolonged cash shortages in the
weeks that followed created significant disruption throughout the economy,
threatening economic output. A resultant impact on stock market was also well
expected. The ministry‟s note added that demonetisation had resulted in a 24.5%
increase in the number of income tax returns filed till August 5. RBI‟s report
also sheds further light on other aspects of the demonetisation move such as its
costs. The cumulative effect of the decrease in income and increase in
expenditure effectively halved RBI‟s net profit to Rs 30,663 crore from Rs
65,880 crore a year ago. The central bank transferred almost its entire profit to
the government.
Demonetization leads to a situation where the country would suddenly feel short
of the money that it needed to enable the transactions. This leads to decrease in
prices of goods and services. Until money comes into circulation the purchasing
power of people would negatively impact the prices in various industries, it
could be real estate, Automobiles, steel, cement, etc. which in turn affect the
prices of stocks negatively.
2. Significance of the Study
Cash transactions are the norm in India with around 96% transactions conducted
in cash. With such a high degree of reliance on cash, the impact of
demonetization on FMCG industry, Logistics, domestic appliances are much
larger than envisaged by management pundits and think tanks. The fall in off
take is driven by urban India (-3.1 per cent in November versus October), while
rural India has managed to stay flat at 0.4 per cent mainly due to smaller packs,
smaller currency transactions and flourishing barter system. Hotels are among
the least affected sectors post-demonetisation. In fact, the economy hotels have
reported a rise in bookings and revenue per available room (RevPAR) this year
compared to last year. At Tata Group‟s budget hotel chain Ginger, for instance,
the occupancy rate this December has gone up by more than 10%, compared to
last year, registering over 3% overall growth to clock an aggregate of 70%. This
International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Special Issue

has reflected in the price of stock in Hotels, Personal care, Logistics & transport,
domestic appliances and food processing sector. Hence, the study has been
made to study the impact of demonetization on these stock prices.
3. Literature Review
A Parliamentary panel report in April 2017 stated that rural households and
honest taxpayers were the worst hit by demonetisation. It said that it was not just
the poor that suffered, but the manufacturing sector was impacted too.
According to the panel, demonetisation created significant disruption throughout
economy, because it was carried out without prior study or research.
Rajanish Kumar (2017) examined the effect of demonetization on stocks in
terms of EPS. The author has compared the EPS of companies before and after
demonetization and estimated the EPS for next quarter i.e. January to March to
analyse the long term impact of demonetization and has given an opinion that
there is no negative impact of demonetisation in the long term.
Kailash Bathija and Krishna Eluri (2017) analysed the impact of
demonetization on stock market. The main reason behind this move was to curb
black money and stop terrorism funding. They have found out that the share
prices fell around 6 % on 9th November as a combined effect of demonetization
and US Presidency election. In November, foreign investors sold around $3
billion value stocks. According to the authors, “this impact is for short term,
BSE Sensex would rise to 26560 by the end of the month of December”. They
have also predicted that it would reach 28500 by mid of 2017 and 29600 by the
end of 2017 and NSE nifty would rise to 8775 points.
Narendra Nathan (2017) explained that demonetization and US presidential
election affected Indian stock market. The day after these changes the BSE
opened with a loss of 1300 points and recovered slowly after a week. This move
created opportunity to buy value stocks which give higher returns in future. It
means that the impact is temporary or for short period and stock market would
recover slowly.
Manas Chakravarty (2017)reports that investor feels that the impact of
demonetisation on stock market is temporary as lower interest may offset
adverse effects. Not only this move by central government has affected the
market, along with this the US presidency election has also affected the market.
The rise in the US bond yield has led to flow of money from market like India
and other growing market.
Sukanta Sarkar (2010)conducted a study on the parallel economy in India:
Causes, impacts & government initiatives in which the researcher focused on the
existence of causes and impacts of black money in India. According to the
study, the main reason behind the generation of black money is the Indian
Political System i.e. Indian govt. just focused on making committees rather than
to implement it. The study concludes that laws should be implemented properly

to control black money in our economy.
Tax Research Team (2016)in their working paper stated in favour of
demonetization Its main objective is to analyze the impact of demonetization on
Indian economy. This paper shows the impact of such a move on the availability
of credit, spending, level of activity and government finances.
Arpit Guru and Shruti Kahanijow (2010) researcher analysed the black
money income? Need for amendment in DTAA &ITEA and analysed that black
money is spread everywhere in India up to a large extent which continuously
stashed towards abroad in a very large amount. The researcher also identified
how black money had caused menaces in our economy and in what ways it is
used.
4. Event Study
The event study is an important research tool in economics and finance. The aim
of event study analysis is to determine whether there is any relationship between
the event and the fluctuation of stock price by monitoring the changing of stock
price and the occurrence of abnormal returns. Event study methods exploit the
fact that, given rationality in the marketplace, the effects of an event will be
reflected immediately in security prices and the impact can be measured by
examining security prices surrounding the event. The roots of event study go
back to Dolly (1939), who was the first to introduce event study analysis to the
public. He examined the effects of stock splits to stock prices, but this theory
has been significantly developed since the 1960s. The path-breaking event study
conducted by Fama, Fisher, Jensen, and Roll (1969) innovated the methodology
used in event studies since then. Even the most cursory perusal of event studies
carried out over the past four decades reveals a striking fact: the basic statistical
format of event studies has not changed over time. It is still based on the table
layout in the classic stock split event study of Fama et al. (1969). The key focus
is still on measuring the sample securities‟ mean and cumulative mean abnormal
return around the time of an event.
Since the 1980s, the performance of event study methodology has been the
subject of a number of studies. The main concern of this research is to analyse
the power and the degree of specification of test statistics used in short-run and
long-run event studies. Brown and Warner (1985), Dyckman, Philbrick, and
Stephan (1984), Campbell and Wasley (1993) and Cowan and Sergeant (1996)
analyse how the particular properties of daily stock returns affect the
performance of several test statistics used in short-run event studies. On the
other hand, Barber and Lyon (1997), Kothari and Warner (1997), Brav (2000)
and Jegadeesh and Karceski (2004) examine the performance of alternative test
statistics used in long-run event studies.
The main idea of the theory is that stock markets, i.e. investors, react to new
information released by a company immediately. If there is any lag in the
response of prices to an event, it is short-lived. The reason for this is that
International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Special Issue
103
investors notice these „anomalies‟ and buy or sell stocks and it disappears.
Shiller (2003) says that the efficient market theory, as it is commonly expressed,
asserts that when irrational optimists buy a stock, smart money sells, and when
irrational pessimists sell a stock, smart money buys, thereby eliminating the
effect of the irrational traders on market price. But this smart money system
does not work successfully all the time. Throughout history, we have seen asset
bubbles all around the world and the „system‟ has failed.
5. Methods and Analysis of Data
According to Mitchell, Netter (1994) and MacKinlay (1997), event study is
done "using financial market data" to "measure the impact of a specific event on
the value of a firm". He argues that "given rationality in the marketplace, the
effects of an event will be reflected immediately in security prices. Thus a
measure of the event's economic impact can be constructed using security prices
observed over a relatively short time period". It is important to note that short -
horizon event studies are more reliable than long horizon event studies as the
latter have many limitations. Hence to identify the immediate effect short
horizon is used.
This is to analyse the impact of demonetization on stock market which includes
before demonetization, event window is referred as demonetization month and
post event window is referred to as post demonetization situations.
1.To investigate the behaviour of the prices after the event day. Event study is
employed to test the following hypotheses:
Ho: Expected abnormal return is zero for each stock for each day before the
event window.
H1: Expected abnormal return is different from zero for each stock for each day
after the event window.
2. Realised return, CAR and ANOVA analysis has been carried out in the study
to find out an impact on stock returns during the period.
Holding Period Return (HPR)
HPR is the total return received from holding an asset or portfolio of assets over
a period of time, generally expressed as a percentage.
Holding Period Return = (End of Period Value – Initial Value) / Initial Value *
100
Cumulative Abnormal Return
The 'market model' is one of the most common models used. It builds on the
actual returns of a reference market and the correlation of the firm's stock with
the reference market. Equation (1) describes the model formally. The abnormal
return on a distinct day within the event window represents the difference
between the actual stock return (Ri,t) on that day and the normal return, which is
International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Special Issue
104
predicted based on two inputs; the typical relationship between the firm's stock
and its reference index (expressed by the α and β parameters), and the actual
reference market's return (Rm,t).
ARi,t=Ri,t−(αi+βiRm,t) (1)
Such an analysis performed for multiple events of the same event type (i.e., a
sample study) may yield typical stock market response patterns, which have
been at the centre of prior academic research. Typical abnormal returns
associated with a distinct point of time before or after the event day are defined
as follows.
AAR=1N∑i=1NARi,t (2)
To measure the total impact of an event over a particular period of time (termed
the 'event window'), one can add up individual abnormal returns to create a
'cumulative abnormal return'. Equation (2) formally shows this practice. The
most common event window found in research is a three day event window
starting at t1=−1 and ending at t2=1.
CAR(t1,t2)=∑t=t1t2ARi,t (3)
This Study using the CAR analysis to find the difference among three intervals.
That is (i) Zero represent the event time (ii) -1 to -10 represent the pre - event
(iii) 1 to 5 represent the post event which are mentioned under the category pf
“event time”.
6. Industry Specific CAR Analysis
(i)Transport and Logistics Industry
In the estimation window, only container corp and Interglobe Ave companies
are shown negative CAR before the event period and in the event window all the
companies CAR values got reduced which is clearly shown in the chart. That
means 100% logistics companies are affected during demonetisation period.

(ii) Hotels
Out of selected 5 companies, Indian Tourism D and Indian Hotels has been
shown the positive result after the announcement of demonetisation. Hotels –
EIH, Leela and Mahindra Holida shares are affected during the event window. It
means that 60% hotel industries were affected during demonetisation.

(iii) Personal Care
In the estimation window, Dabur India in personal care sector have shown
negative CAR before the event period. After the announcement of
demonetisation Dabur India, Colgate and Marico shares also affected. HUL and
Godrej Consumer shares got increased after the event window. Even though, the
share values affected on the event window, after three days, all the share values
are started increasing.
(iv)Food Processing
In the estimation window, only Britannia company in food processing sector
have shown negative CAR before the event period and in the event window. All
the companies CAR values got increased after the event window. That means
100% food processing company‟s performance got increased during
demonetisation. As per Maslow‟s theory, since it is a basic needs of people,
there were no fluctuation to the investor to invest on this sector which is created
big improvement after the demonetisation.

(v) Domestic Appliances
In the estimation window, Bajaj, Butterfly and Howkins on the domestic
appliances companies sector have shown Positive CAR before the event period
and in the event window. TTK Prestige and Viaan Ind companies shares shows
the same performance before and after the event. It means that there is no
impact in this sector because of dementisation.
International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics Special Issue
108
Logistics and Transport is the most benefited sector by this demonetization
because it was really challenging to make the cash transactions due to the
demonetisation. People were concentrating on purchasing food processing stuff
for their basic needs and daily needs. Since there is no possibility in reduction in
food items, investors are shown their interest to buy the basic need commodities.

During the event time, hotels sectors are also affected, but after three days the
share values are got increased in the share market. When comparing with prior
and after the performance of shares of all the industries, after demonetisation the
performance growth is very higher than the pre demonetisation.
The real effect is on retail sector where transactions happen in the form of cash
and people faced difficulties to meet their daily needs. One of the major sectors
affected by demonetization was real estate. Experts say, there has been 40%
drop in sales in cities like Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata etc. as a result
of which stock prices had also come down, but these fluctuations were
temporary and it is more of behavioural investment because people were
hesitating to invest in real estate.

8. Remarks and Findings
Considering the various sectors which are exposed to demonetization, there are
methodology were used to find out how all these sectors are performed during
the demonetisation period. In this study, logistics and transport has been
affected the most during the demonetisation. As per the research done by the
quickhop logistics, logistics companies are affected more than two months after
the demonetisation. But promoting cashless transactions for payment of money
helped the customers, and also customer‟s adaptability to new changes which
were avoided the major fluctuations in the logistics shares. Even though the
Hotel industry are affected during the demonetisation period, it started gaining
the returns after few days . However the shares values of all sectors got affected

during the period.
In food processing, domestic appliances and personal care are the basic needs
for all the people, which shares in the peak level during the demonetisation.
However in these sectors, small industries are affected like the other sectors
which was identified by the economic time‟s research.
The current study is done to analyse whether the demonetization has affected the
stock market or not.
As proved by this study the demonetization had an impact on the stock prices
only on the unstructured sectors like hotels and logistics however there is no
impact on high level manufacturing organisation of personal care, domestic
appliance and food processing. However all the industries share returns got
started increasing after few days of demonetisation and also the shares values
got increased more than the previous periods which is the very good effect for
the shareholders and the county‟s economy growth.
9. Scope for Further Study
The study can be extended to all sectors and up to a period of one year post
demonetisation. Also macro-economic factors during the period, which could
have an impact on the stock prices, could be considered.
10. Conclusion
The impact on stock market is temporary i.e. the prices of stocks were
fluctuating in the week of announcement of demonetization. In ecommerce,
online payment, card payment, mobile wallet payment on delivery of goods can
be better options to retain customers and dealers. In hotels and the transport and
logistics sectors, providing cash at tourist destinations and availability of card
payment system can be factors to be considered to attract tourists and to
maintain present revenue for the government. In hotel sectors, they can
improvising services on ecommerce which will avoid such scenario in future.
Since demonetization has not affected the stocks of the selected sectors,
investors need not worry about their investment and it was a better opportunity
for investors and speculators to purchase stocks at lower prices when they were
trading at lower prices in the week of announcement of demonetization.
Speculators who buy at lower prices with the expectations of selling them at
higher prices in future had expected that this move would drastically affect the
market and the impact would be long period but this study proved that
demonetization had no impact on stock market. The demand for goods and
services of different sectors was low but it was temporary and recovered with
more money in circulation. As expected by some investors, there should have
been a greater impact on stock market where according to some investors the
impact is for short term. The same has been proven in the study.
