The Right to Information Act (RTI) of 2005 helped civilians work effectively towards tackling corruption. It allows Indian citizens to request information, for a fixed fee of  RS.15(US$0.22), from a "public authority" (a body of Government or "instrumentality of State"). In turn, this public authority is required to reply to the request within thirty days. Activists have used this to uncover corruption cases against various politicians and bureaucrats – one consequence being that some of those activists have been attacked and even killed.

Anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare believes Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision on Tuesday night to wipe out black money by scrapping the currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 was a revolutionary step. And could lead to the beginning of a “new India marching towards a corruption-free society”. The 79-year-old says the next step should be towards electoral reforms to check black money in the poll process.

CONCLUSION

Black money has created a big black hole in Indian economy & the entire burden is beared by the common people of India.

To stop corruption which creates black money, we the people of India have to come forward to fight against corruption.
