An NRI client's biggest disadvantage in an Indian property dispute is rarely the law — it's distance. Hearings get missed, a builder or relative counts on you not being able to show up, and documents that need attestation abroad sit unsigned for months. The work here is structured around that reality: a Power of Attorney (POA) drafted and consularly attested wherever you are, so the matter proceeds in Gurugram whether or not you can fly in for every date.
What is handled
- Builder delay, possession refusal and refund with interest — before HRERA Gurugram and the Haryana Real Estate Appellate Tribunal; see the full RERA property dispute process
- Title disputes and ancestral property partition where an NRI co-owner has been excluded or kept uninformed by relatives managing the property in India
- Illegal possession or encroachment of property left vacant while the owner is abroad
- Recovery of rent and eviction of a tenant who has stopped paying, coordinated entirely through a POA holder
- Due diligence before an NRI buys or sells property in India — title verification, encumbrance checks and FEMA compliance on the transaction
The Power of Attorney, done properly
A POA executed outside India needs attestation by the Indian Embassy or Consulate (or apostille, depending on the country) before it is valid for use in Indian courts and registration offices. Most delays in NRI property matters trace back to a POA that was drafted incorrectly, attested at the wrong stage, or never registered in India after arrival. This is set up correctly the first time — see Power of Attorney for NRIs for the full process.
Working with your overseas solicitor
Where an NRI client already has a solicitor or attorney handling matters in their country of residence — for a divorce, an estate, or an FEMA-related compliance question — the Indian side of the matter is coordinated directly with them, so instructions don't get lost in translation between two legal systems.
Why choose this office
- Matters conducted end to end on a POA, with video calls scheduled around your time zone — in-person presence in India is needed only where the law specifically requires it
- Direct coordination with your overseas solicitor where one is already engaged
- A realistic view on repatriation of sale proceeds and FEMA compliance, not just the litigation itself
