The document discusses the black economy in India. It defines the black economy as the hidden sector where cash transactions go unreported, including trades, goods and services not part of the official economy. A large portion of the black economy, estimated at 50% of GDP in 2012-13, is controlled by the top 3% of the population. This exacerbates inequality. The black economy undermines the macroeconomy, sectors like education and health, and weakens democracy. Tough steps are needed like getting details from Swiss banks, replacing high denomination notes, and increasing public awareness, to resolve its negative impacts on India's growth.

17. •instead of keeping black money in safe deposits of foreign banks and
institutions(which earn zero interest), people will look to invest the same into
their own projects and new ventures, in short the money will re-enter the
Indian economy.
•This will lead to higher investment and thus, higher returns, which will
revert to no one else but we Indians. Subsequently there would be a rise in
per capita income (if we assume that the developmental effects of higher
investment has trickled down to all the sections of society) of the people of
the nation.
•If the loss to the government treasury due to abolishment of income tax is
counterbalanced by a proportional increase in corporate tax, it will bring
positive results. (Countries like UAE and Qatar have been successful in
adopting such a policy)

20. The black economy underlies the major macroeconomic problems faced
by India - fiscal crisis, inflation and BOP problems. The micro and the
sectoral problems of the economy, like, education, health and
infrastructure also relate to the black economy. It weakens democracy. If
not checked, India’s growth story can become a thing of the past.
Political will is required to take the tough steps and that means
strengthening democracy and people should be known aware of that .
If matters are to be resolved, the public has to act against the entire
political class via alternative movements on a host of issues which will
throw up an alternative leadership.
