$\mathfrak{\huge{\green{\underline{\underline{ANSWER :}}}}}$

Black Money is the money on which income tax is not paid. This money is earned through corrupt practices and not declared fearing legal action. Black money is collected by corrupt officials, politicians, businessmen, criminals, smugglers and any other individual trying to evade taxation. Thus, Black money is one of the major drawbacks in a nation’s growth.

There are various sources of generating black money one of them is the government sector. Corrupt government officials authorized to make policy and financial decisions and get perks/bribe in return. This money obviously cannot be declared and is purposely hidden from the tax net; though, it is invested in a new venture through shell companies or money laundering.

Thus, the money which should be taxed and the taxed amount utilized for public welfare schemes, escapes the tax agencies, having a deteriorating effect on the overall economic health of a nation. Transfer Mispricing is the process by which private firms generate black money.

The logic used in this method is to manipulate the price of the transaction between two parties, so as to deceive tax agencies and benefit both the parties. Though the money is not earned by dishonest means, it is purposely hidden from tax authorities to evade taxation and is still considered black money. Anti-national, anti-social and criminal activities are also the sources of black money. Anti-national activities also mainly depend on black money.
