If the govt prints as much money as they want, the market would get flooded with rupee. Hence, value of ruppe would fall down. Simple Supply and Price funda!

When RBI prints as many notes it wants to. Rs Will loose its value. Inflation Will Go Up. Demand N Supply ratio will b HIT. There will be MORE DEMAND n LEss Supply.
Say if Govt Gives u RS 1 Cr in cash. U may go to the bunk n fill in bottles will petrol. If 100 ppl do it. petrol availability will come down. So the prices has to shoot up.

Basically, Demand Supply ratio will be Dimished!

Sandeep,

The problem is not with printing money but what money does. pronting more money incleases money supply something refered to as M3. More money in the market means people have more to spend which means higher inflation. Printing more money ends up increasing inflation which negates the very reason more money was printed.

Economic theroy basically is about controlling this monet supply, so called M3. No matter what is done rate increases ar CRR - cash reserve ratio, it's all about M3.

hope this helps.
