    Dear All If any person, who have done some transactions before 2016, and now after coming this act into force, those transactions became Benami. My question is whether this Benami Act is applicable to those transactions happened before 2016 and, if Yes then, what will be the Consequences and Effects of this act on those Transactions (Penalty/Fine/Imprisonment). Whether there is any exemption available to Assessee???

    • In my view, No act can be enforceable prior to its implementation until specifically provided in the act.

      The amended law empowers the specified authorities to provisionally attach benami properties which can eventually be confiscated.

      Besides, if a person is found guilty of offence of benami transaction by the competent court, he shall be punishable with rigorous imprisonment for a term not less than one year but which may extend to 7 years and shall also be liable to fine which may extend to 25% of the fair market value of the property.
