Benami Transactions Act

The Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amendment Act, 2016 introduced stringent measures to curb corruption and undisclosed ownership of property. At Lex Clava, we assist clients in understanding the scope of the Act, including implications for property ownership, compliance obligations, and risks of violation.

Our team provides advisory and representation before the authorities established under the Act — including the Initiating Officer, Approving Authority, Administrator, and Adjudicating Authority. We support clients in inquiries, defense proceedings, and appeals related to benami property disputes.

By combining legal expertise with practical strategies, we guide clients in structuring legitimate transactions and avoiding exposure under this stringent legislation. From preventive compliance to litigation support, Lex Clava ensures protection of client rights while maintaining full conformity with the law.
