Dear Sir,
To prove a benami transaction it is very hard and the above facts may not sufficient to attract the provisions of benami Act. However, you have other options to proceed against them.

sir ,
i have complained with MCA and filed a case in NCLT but neither MCA nor NCLT has taken any action,,, as the source of income is not there on record under the new act will it be still difficult to prove?
