India · 2016विमुद्रीकरण, जीएसटी और उरी सर्जिकल स्ट्राइक ने भारत के 2016 को पुनर्परिभाषित किया

8 नवंबर 2016 को सरकार ने घोषणा की कि ₹500 और ₹1,000 के नोट अब वैध मुद्रा नहीं रहेंगे, जिससे मूल्य के हिसाब से लगभग 86% मुद्रा प्रभावित हुई। इसी वर्ष संसद ने जीएसटी (GST) ढांचा, दिवाला और शोधन अक्षमता संहिता (Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code) तथा रेरा (RERA) को अधिनियमित किया। उरी हमले के बाद भारत ने सर्जिकल स्ट्राइक की घोषणा की, पेरिस समझौते का अनुमोदन किया और इसरो (ISRO) ने कई महत्वपूर्ण उपलब्धियां हासिल कीं।
