News India Live, Digital Desk: In Bihar, the Enforcement Directorate (ED), CBI and Income Tax Department have now changed their method of investigation. Earlier these agencies used to target only the mafia directly, but now their full attention “Benami Properties” But it is.
What game is going on?
Often we see that sand mafia, liquor mafia or contractors do not keep their black money directly in their name to protect themselves from the eyes of the law. They make shields for their relatives, friends, servants or drivers.
- Luxury Cars: 20-25 lakhs in the name of a normal earning person Scorpio or 40 lakhs Fortuner Is purchased.
- Precious Land: In cities like Patna, Ranchi or Delhi, expensive flats and lands are registered in the name of brother-in-law, brother-in-law or any distant relative.
The mafia is having fun, but you get trapped by becoming the ‘owner’ on paper!
What are the agencies doing now?
If sources are to be believed, the central agencies have prepared a very big list. They are taking the help of data mining and artificial intelligence.
If you have a big property or vehicle in your name, but your ITR (Income Tax Return) If it doesn’t match that expense, then understand that a call is about to come. ED is investigating that where did the property worth crores in the name of a person who earns Rs 10-20 thousand a month come from?
Neither car, nor house will be left… and jail separately!
The most scary thing is that the Benami Property Act is very strict. If it is proved that you have purchased the property with mafia money:
- that entire property Confiscated Will be done.
- In whose name the property is (i.e. benamidar), he should also Jail (Imprisonment) May have to go.
- You can’t escape by saying “I didn’t know”.
What lessons should be learned?
If you live in Bihar, then tie this knot Things bought with other people’s money can never be yours. If any relative or powerful friend tempts you to get a SIM, car or land on your Aadhar card, then clearly refuse.
Don’t risk your peaceful life just because of a little greed. The agencies are now demanding every penny’s account and no “connection” is working. Be alert, stay safe!
