What is the new legislation assisting NRIs in property recovery?

Dear Sir/Madam, I believe a new legislation came into effect last year to expedite the process and assist NRIs in regaining their property in India, especially in cases where family members (caretakers) have taken illegal and unreasonable possession of their property. Could you kindly advise on this legislation? Thank you.

f family members or caretakers have illegally taken possession of your property in India, you can file a police complaint for trespassing or fraud and initiate a civil suit for possession. In case of ownership disputes, a declaration suit can help establish your rights. Consulting a property or NRI legal expert is advisable to navigate the process efficiently. For further legal assistance, you may contact the appropriate legal authorities or helpline services.

The Protection of Right to Property of Non-Resident Indians Act provides special provisions for NRIs to reclaim illegally occupied property, including fast-track courts and designated NRI cells in police stations to handle such disputes. I'd recommend consulting the latest Ministry of External Affairs guidelines or a legal professional for the most current information.

Sir, if family members or caretakers have taken illegal possession of your property in India, you can file a police complaint for trespassing or fraud. You can also file a civil suit to reclaim your property. If there is a dispute over ownership, a declaration suit can help. It is best to consult an expert lawyer specializes in property or NRI matters to guide you through the process and speed things up. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
