Mohanish,

Yes, I agree with the statement that supply of money is not simply the supply of notes and coins in economy. Supply of money has two components: currency component and deposit component. Currency component  comprises of the currency notes and coins issued by the Monetary Authority of a country, whereas, deposit component  comprises of the savings or the current account deposits held by the public in various commercial banks of the country.

Supply of money is not simply the supply of notes and coins. Suppose, banks had to keep 30% CRR with RBI. Now, it has been reduced to 25%. This means money supply has increased in the economy, but supply of notes and coins hasn't increased.
