Circumstances in which the Informant is not eligible for any reward

Informant reward ineligibility: vague, pre-existing, or improperly submitted information disqualifies entitlement under the Benami informant scheme.

No reward is payable under the Benami informant scheme where the informant does not comply with the scheme's submission requirements or terms, where information is vague or already available to the Department, where information is received through any organization other than the Income Tax Department, or where additional taxes detected are not directly attributable to the informant's information; entitlement is limited to the property(ies) specified in Annexure A and does not extend to incidental benefits relating to other properties.
