Question
With reference to the ‘Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions Act, 1988 (PBPT Act)’, consider the following statements:

  1. A property transaction is not treated as a Benami transaction if the owner of the property is not aware of the transaction.

  2. Properties held by Benami are liable for confiscation by the Government.

  3. The Act provides for three authorities for investigations but does not provide for any appellate mechanism.


Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Options:
A .  1 and 3 only
B .  1 only
C .  2 only
D .  2 and 3 only
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
The act provides is an appellate tribunal, and they’re required to finish the case within one year.
So #3 is wrong, by elimination, we are left with A and B.
So, C is most appropriate because IT dept (therefore, Government) can seize the Benami properties.
