With the ever-increasing settlement of Non-Residential Indians (NRIs) in India, there have been increased problems faced by the NRIs in India; law-related issues have been the most prominent among the other. Being unknown towards the judicial law system of India, NRI’s. NRI legal advice is considered an important part when considering the long list of facilities to be availed while resolving any issues in India. Not being around here, the NRIs experience a lot of difficulties while tackling the legal issues due to unavoidable factors like language.
There are varied legal issues that NRIs face like property dispute, partition of ancestral property, divorce, child custody & transfer of property. All these issues comprise of NRIs who are new to the legal system of India. But, there really are numerous issues which might pop up for either those NRI’s who are moving back or those who do not wish to move back to India.
Many Overseas Citizens of India or Persons of Indian Origin applicants face difficulties in obtaining documentation showing they are of Indian origin which leads to delay in processing applications, many of thse are denied OCI registration due to lack of proofs. If that was not enough, there are problems with enrolment of Adhaar numbers as well. In case of some NRIs who reside in one of the Developed Nations, a Certificate of No Marriage is also required to prove bachelorhood in case they wish to get married in that particular country. This certificate proves the marital status of that person. It is usually signed by the First Class Magistrate, but for some countries it has to be attested by the Ministry of External Affairs. The biggest issue of course has always been the joint family property issues or the unauthorized acquisition of their property in India. This is usually settled if a proper Power of Attorney is made before they depart or perhaps even later at some stage to grant the power of maintenance to some trustworthy person in India.
Either way, it is not an easy task to counter these problems or even think of these beforehand. Many of the NRIs simply want to remain in their new residences in peace and without any disturbance.
