The Income Tax Department conducted a five-hour survey at the Etmadpur registry office in Agra, uncovering irregularities in property sale deeds amounting to ₹900 crore. This operation follows similar inspections conducted in the Kirawali and Sadar areas. The investigation focuses on discrepancies in 'bainamas' that suggest widespread tax evasion and administrative malpractice.
The scale of the fraud indicates a systemic failure in local registry verification processes, which could invalidate property titles or lead to significant tax liabilities for involved parties. Businesses relying on these registries for collateral or asset verification are at risk of financial loss and regulatory penalties. The investigation is likely to expand, potentially impacting other registry offices and real estate stakeholders in the region.
