"Hello sir"
"Yes sir"

"Give me money"

Possible answers to get ride of them:
"No, thanks you": not efficient
"I don't want it": not efficient
Authoritative "No": works reasonably well
"Do you know the meaning of the word no?": works really well with people who can speak English
Ignoring them: works well
A "no" sign with the hand: works generally well
PS: people hassling you to sell you something or people trying to cheat you are a minor part of the Indian people. Most the time, people are fair, they might even refuse a tip!
