Currency / Cash does not necessarily Mean Black Money,
Reduce Taxes
Reduce Stamp Duty on Land Registries.
During British Times , Land Registration Rates were around 1 to 2 %. ( Now , they are 7 to 10 % ).
Earlier there was Law of Pre Emption ( Haq -shoofa ) where land owner of contiguous property could acquire the sold land at Land Registration Rate + 10 % or so.
So , to prevent Pre emption and take advantage of Low Stamp papers , many times Registrations in British times , were done at higher rates than the negotiated rates ( opposite of today )

Actual Tillers Are The Only Real Farmers
What about money laundering done by Rich / Super Rich Farmers ?
They do not pay any tax .
Money laundering of ftheir other incomes as agricultural income.
Income Tax exemptions are only for Actual Tillers ( Plough Weilders ).
But , in states like Punjab , Rich landlords give their land on Lease ( Theka ) to the landless cultivators.
These absentee landlords pocket the Theka money as Tax Free.
Govt should take against those Revenue officials ( Patwaris ) who show absentee landlords as actual tillers in the Girdawaris.

Many NRI s who have not set foot on India for many many years are shown as Tillers . They take the benefit of Free Electricity / other freebies while negotiating Theka s.

Check Black Money in Politics / Elections
Hold Elections every 3 Years.
In the USA tenure of President is for 4 years.
5 Year tenure in India was decided up on 64 years ago and when votes were cast on Ballot Papers.
Election costs, now , can be reduced to a minuscule if voting is done by Mobile Phones.
The expenditure thus saved should be used to give free mobile phones to those Indians who do not own one
