Largest absolute jumps

Sorted by ₹ added between each MP’s earliest and latest filing.

Most criminal cases declared (2024)

Counts come from each MP's 2024 affidavit. Pending cases are not convictions.

How this is calculated

Growth in declared assets has many drivers — appreciation of inherited property, business income, spousal earnings, inflation, or revaluation. A high multiple is not, by itself, evidence of wrongdoing. Use the source links to read the original affidavits.
