1947: 1$=1₹    ; Independence
1966:1$=7.5₹  ;Indo-Pak,Indo-China wars
1975:1$=8.39₹
1980:1$=7.86₹
1985:1$=12.38₹
1990:1$=17.01₹;Economic Crisis

2013:1$=57.8₹
2014:1$=62₹
2016:1$=67₹   ; Demonetization
2020:1$=71₹

Indian rupee depreciation depends on imports of crud oil, because 38% of our total imports are crude oil. Increase in crude oil price for example 10$ per barrel increase in crude oil,decreases India growth by 0.3%.
Recent changes like Demonetization depreciates Indian rupee, but GST Goods and Service Tax no way related to rupee depreciation.
Final Word:
Indian rupee depreciation not only the considerable factor to decide the balance sheet of India, compare to Asian, African, Latin american countries we achieved a lot and to be achieved more too. It is the great Indian paradox that greatest achievements and biggest failures too. Great words by Ravindranath Tagore
Where the mind is without fear
Where the knowledge is free
Where the head is held high
Where the country is not decided in to narrow domestic walls.
