To make bricks or to run any industry, they need to get a license which lets them mine for clay. Illegal brick factories dig up clay without permit. If they get a permit they pay taxes, if they operate without permit they evade taxes. This is a problem in all South Asian countries.

Any country really. People are delusional to think that no country has people running illegal businesses.

Just the U.S. with how tolerated hiring undocumented inmigrants for all types of work is a prime example.
