Black money sows the seeds of corruption and money laundering in many sectors. It leads many social, unethical and economic struggles, helps in funding of terrorism, affects real estate and funds illegal activities in the country.

Narendra Modi at 8:17PM on Nov8, 2016. Currency notes of Rs.500 and Rs.1000 denominations were ceased to be legal tender from midnight that day. It was an attack on black money holders.
