Direct evaporation is only one part of this. You need to consider the overhead as people tried to get money into the banking system without alerting the government.

AKA, If you started with X money hidden then you don't get to keep 100% of that money if you hand it to other people to deposit.

On top of that people where caught, so actual black money disappearing was much greater than 1%.

Overhead didn't reduce black money, it just changed hands. From merchants to bankers and launderers.

If you hand money being saved to several people, those Y people are going to spend the money they just got. Thus, moving it into the taxed economy.
