Breaking News - After demonetisation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will crack the whip on benami property holders.
 
"You are possibly aware of a law about Benami property in our country which came into being in 1988, but neither were its rules ever framed, nor was it notified. It just lay dormant," Modi said in his monthly 'Mann ki Baat' radio address.
 
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.

A new law to prohibit illegal benami transactions, under which up to seven years of imprisonment and penalty for those indulging in such activities could be handed out, would come into effect from November 1, the finance ministry had said on Friday.

In August, Parliament had passed the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, with the assurance from Finance Minister Arun Jaitley that genuine religious trusts would be kept out of the purview of this new legislation.
