The revenue department has recorded the highest number of corruption charges, followed by the police department, according to data from the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), which is tasked with keeping an eye on corrupt government personnel across several departments in Maharashtra. According to information posted for the general public on the ACB website, 131 occurrences of trapping against tax officers were reported from January through August 20 of this year. The majority of cases were brought against "Class III" personnel, and the total amount of money collected in these cases was close to Rs 26 lakh.

Nevertheless, despite the large number of cases, institutional red tape often delays and affects conviction. "Aside from trap cases, we do have challenges when pursuing the case, such as securing prosecution approval from the relevant department, securing the suspension of the corrupt official from duty, and securing the required approvals from authorities to open an investigation and file a FIR. Our top priority is to ensure that the most people are found guilty in the cases that are brought to us, "the office clarified Another ACB source claimed that the conviction rate has consistently decreased as compared to 2014. "The rate was 32% in 2014, and from then through 2019, it will be 8%, 6%, 21%, 17%, and 27%, respectively. The government department's poor response time to the inquiry request is to blame for the increase in acquittals "added the reference.
