    <title>Rs. 92,00,000 held benami under PBPT Act; cash qualifies as &#039;property&#039; under Section 2(26); fiduciary claim rejected</title>
    <link>https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=93279</link>
    <description>AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed that Rs. 92,00,000 constituted benami property under the PBPT Act. The Tribunal found the cash, though briefly deposited in the alleged benamidar&#039;s bank account, was transferred to and held for the benefit of the alleged beneficial owner company, satisfying the statutory requisites of a benami transaction. The fiduciary-capacity exception was rejected because the purported fiduciary relationship was not established: the individual was an independent businessman, not an employee, and admitted the cash purpose to defeat demonetisation. The AT further held cash falls within the definition of &quot;property&quot; under Section 2(26) of the PBPT Act and consequently dismissed the appeal.</description>
