What is Benami Property? All your questions answered

After demonetization, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will crack the whip on Benami property holders.

"We will take action against 'Benami' property. This is a major step to eradicate corruption and black money... We are going to take action against the properties which are purchased in the name of others (benami). That is the property of the country. My government feels that it is our responsibility to help the poor and I will do it," Modi said in Goa on Sunday.

The New Benami Act came into effect from November 1. It prohibits illegal Benami transactions, under which up to seven years of imprisonment and penalty for those indulging in such activities could be handed out.

Benami is one of the most searched on Google with people enquiring about 'How to convert black money into white money'. What is Benami?

Benami essentially means property without a name. In this kind of transaction, the person who pays for the property does not buy it under his/her own name. The person in whose name the property has been purchased is called the benamdar and the property so purchased is called the Benami property. The person who finances the deal is the real owner. '

The property is held for the benefit - direct or indirect - of the person paying the amount.

What constitutes a Benami property?

Property that does not stick to the following criteria:

a) Property held in the name of spouse or child for which the amount is paid out of known sources of income

b) A joint property with brother, sister or other relatives for which the amount is paid out of known sources of income

c) Property held by someone in a fiduciary capacity

This means, by law, if you buy a property in name of your parents, too, can be declared as benami.
