One PAN, ₹50,000-cr transactions and 25000 properties under IT scanner: What happened at Gurugram’s Badshahpur tehsil?

An Income Tax Department survey has unearthed discrepancies in records of some 25,000 properties, including the alleged use of the same PAN number in multiple registrations over two years, PTI reported citing an official.

High-value property transactions of around ₹55,000 crore in Gurugram's Badshahpur tehsil are now under the scanner and the I-T Department, Chandigarh, has constituted a seven-member team to probe records at the Badshahpur tehsil office, the official added.

IT probe at Badshahpur tehsil: What happened?

According to I-T dept officials, they failed receive information about transactions worth ₹15,000 crore involving approximately 12,000 properties, which led to examination of records. This led to them finding about 25,000 properties had either not been reported to the department or incorrect PAN numbers had been recorded.

“Irregularities involving transactions worth approximately ₹55,000 crore linked to these properties have come to light. The department is reconciling the records to establish the actual extent of the discrepancies,” officials said.

As part of the probe, roles of tehsildars and naib tehsildars are also being scrutinised as the team seeks to establish why information about high-value property transactions did not reach the I-T dept and how PAN numbers were verified during the registration process.

“However, no evidence establishing the involvement of any official in the irregularities has emerged so far,” officials said.

SFT data found to lack complete transparency

The report cited officials saying that the I-T dept received a Statement of Financial Transactions (SFT) about property transactions exceeding ₹30 lakh. They added that the Haryana government also provided SFT data up to May 2026, but the information has been found to lack complete transparency.

According to departmental information, 140 tehsildars submitted their SFTs ahead of schedule by Thursday, while 120 submitted their reports by the deadline. The dept emphasised the need for pending reports to be filed transparently and discrepancies in property registration records to be rectified.

Fraud, glitch or record-keeping error — Probe underway

The report added that the investigative team is looking into the actual nature of the irregularities. “…whether this resulted from record-keeping errors or deliberate misconduct, will become clear only after the probe is completed,” the official said.
