In Indian informal and business parlance, 'white money' refers to money that is declared, taxed, and circulates legally — as opposed to 'black money,' which is undeclared cash from unreported income or corruption. The white/black distinction is a central part of Indian economic conversation around taxation, corruption, and the informal economy. The term is especially prominent in discussions around demonetization and tax policy.
