Income Tax Survey Finds Reporting Irregularities in Over 35,000 Gurugram Property Transactions
A survey by the Income Tax Department's Directorate of Intelligence and Criminal Investigation in Gurugram's Badshahpur tehsil found over 35,000 property transactions worth more than ₹55,000 crore were either unreported or incorrectly reported, including nearly 25,000 properties registered using a single fictitious PAN. The discrepancies involve omissions and incorrect PAN details, complicating tax compliance verification. Authorities are investigating whether errors were accidental or deliberate, with further examination of tax implications ongoing. The department has also requested state government reforms to improve reporting accuracy.
