The immediate effect on aggregate money supply in the economy, if you withdraw Rs. 1,00,000 in cash from your Demand Deposit Account at your bank, will be “No change”.

When you withdraw cash from your demand deposit account, you are simply converting your deposit (which is part of the money supply) into currency (also part of the money supply).

The total amount of money in the system remains the same, just the composition (ratio of cash to deposits) changes.
