Black money is that money against which tax is not paid. It is national money which is stolen from the government and stored in banks abroad in order to increase one’s own wealth by cheating and stealing from the government. In India there is about 300 lakh crore rupees of black money that has been stored in foreign banks. It is a direct way of stealing from the government. Some people hide a certain percentage of their earnings in order to avoid tax payment against the earning and keep the money completely with him. In this process the government fails to keep a track of the actual national wealth and the correct tax is not accumulated. The money against which tax is not paid is not kept in any local, regional, or national bank in the fear of being discovered or getting caught by the government officials.
Instead this money is transferred to foreign countries and stored in foreign banks. Some examples of such foreign banks are the Liechtenstein Bank and Swiss Bank. This black money which is originally a part of national wealth in India is no more in India. The government needs to be strict and rules need to be more rigid regarding these matters. The government fails to take action as some government officials also indulge in such practices. Due to the inefficiency of the government in taking action the normal people suffer in India. Due to the excess of black money the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer in India.
Due to failures in the governments attempts to retrieve the money and bring it back to India eminent social workers like Baba Ramdev and Anna Hazare have started protesting against the Indian government in order to bring back the black money in India. There has been great support as the common people have started voicing their opinion regarding this issue. This has pressurized the government of Indian and pushed them backwards.
