Answer to Question 1b
Answer to Question 2Hawala is an informal and often unregulated remittance system that operates from many countries conducting domestic and international transactions.84 It was developed in India before formal banking practices were introduced.

the person receiving the money gets it fast, within hours to a day or two at most; (9) some hawaladars are open and available 24-hours a day, such as local grocery stores; and (10) all taxes are avoided.
