The Standing Committee on Finance, headed by former senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily, is planning to submit its report to Parliament during the ongoing Monsoon Session.

In its final meeting on demonetisation tomorrow, the panel has called representatives of IT industry body Nasscom for a presentation on digital payments and government’s think tank Niti Aayog on policy related issues, sources said.

Earlier this month, Moily had said that the panel would submit its report on demonetisation during the Monsoon Session of Parliament that started on July 17. The session is scheduled to conclude on August 11.

Sources also added that the panel has finalised its report on bad loans and challenges in the banking sector for presentation to Parliament.

The Committee had already taken views of RBI Governor Urjit Patel and senior officials of the finance ministry on the government’s decision to scrap old Rs 500/1000 notes from November 9 last year.
