Whether you are dealing with delayed documents, property issues, banking hurdles, or legal complications back home, our team ensures you receive optimum legal solutions and advice tailored for NRIs. This article details our specialized services and serves as an educational FAQ resource for NRI services only.

1. NRI RTI for Birth Certificate

Many NRIs face delays in obtaining or correcting birth certificates for passport renewal, OCI applications, marriage registration, or child sponsorship. Our service helps you:

• Seek certified copies, delayed registration details, or Non-Availability of Birth Certificate (NABC).
• Obtain information on corrections (name, parent details, date of birth).
• Trace records from municipal corporations, gram panchayats, or hospitals.

How we help: We draft RTI applications to the local Registrar of Births & Deaths (Municipal Corporation / Nagar Nigam / Gram Panchayat PIO) or use the centralized RTI Online Portal where applicable. NRIs can authorize us via Power of Attorney for follow-up without travelling to India.

2. NRI RTI for Due Diligence

Before buying or investing in Indian property, thorough verification is critical to avoid fraud or title disputes. We use RTI to extract official records for:

• Encumbrance Certificates (EC).
• Mutation / Khata entries.
• Previous sale deeds and ownership history.
• Pending litigations or government claims.

This ensures clear title and RERA compliance — saving you from costly legal battles later.

3. NRI RTI for Transfer of Property

Property transfer (sale, gift, or succession) often gets stuck due to missing mutation or revenue records. Our RTI applications target:

• Status of mutation applications.
• No-Objection Certificates from authorities.
• Tax clearance and utility dues records.
• Succession or partition documents.

We guide NRIs on FEMA-compliant transfers and repatriation of sale proceeds.

4. NRI RTI for Banking, Financial & Repatriation Services

Banking issues are among the most common NRI concerns. We file targeted RTIs with banks, RBI, and related authorities for:

• Account designation, transactions, and freeze reasons.
• Repatriation delays and FEMA compliance.
• Interest, dividend, or pension credit status.

Key Information on Non-Resident Ordinary (NRO) Accounts (Educational reference only): NRIs and PIOs can maintain NRO accounts for bonafide local banking transactions denominated in Rupees, not involving any violation of the provisions of FEMA and rules and regulations made thereunder. (Note: Opening of accounts by individuals/entities of Bangladesh / Pakistan nationality / ownership requires prior approval of Reserve Bank of India).

When a resident Indian becomes non-resident, the existing account in India will be designated as NRO account. The accounts can be in the form of savings, current or term deposits. Joint account with other NRI(s) / PIO or close resident relative is permitted.

We help NRIs obtain exact repatriation status (up to USD 1 million per financial year from NRO after tax deduction, subject to Form 15CA/CB and CA certificate).

5. NRI RTI for Banking Criminal Law Services for Overseas Indians

Banking fraud, cyber scams, unauthorized withdrawals, or false FIRs can trap NRIs. Our service covers:

• Status of FIRs / complaints filed against you or by you.
• Investigation progress with police / cyber cells / banks.
• Copy of charge sheets or closure reports.
• Look-out circular or arrest warrant status (where disclosable).

We ensure your RTI reaches the correct PIO in the concerned Police Station, Economic Offences Wing, or bank’s vigilance department.
