Many innocent individuals lose their hard-earned property due to impersonation, document forgery, and land grabbing—especially targeting vulnerable communities.

According to the IPC, the following acts are punishable:

Creating or using fake sale deeds, pattas, and ownership records – Punishable under Sections 419, 464, 471 IPC, with imprisonment up to 7 years.
Selling government land or someone else's property using forged documents – Also punishable under Sections 419, 464, 471 IPC.
Forging banking records, income certificates, or financial documents to manipulate land deals – Offenses under Sections 403, 419, 464, 471 IPC.
Encroaching on another person's land or illegally occupying property – Covered under Sections 403, 441, 447 IPC.
Joining hands with third parties to claim disputed property fraudulently – Attracts charges under Sections 403, 419, 464, 471 IPC.
Misuse of trust-based property rights or family settlements for wrongful personal gain – Severe action under Sections 403, 441, 447, 489 IPC.

🔴 Such acts can lead to imprisonment of 2 to 7 years, fines, or both, depending on the nature and gravity of the offense.
