Introduction
For Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), owning property in India can be both a valuable asset and a significant challenge. Many NRIs struggle with unauthorized occupation, legal disputes, or fraudulent transfers due to their absence from the country. Protecting these properties requires proactive management, legal safeguards, and professional assistance.
Common Challenges Faced by NRIs
1. Encroachment & Illegal Occupation
Many NRIs find that their vacant properties are occupied by unauthorized tenants or relatives. Due to their absence, such disputes can become difficult to resolve without legal intervention.
2. Property Fraud & Fake Documentation
Fraudsters often take advantage of weak property monitoring by forging documents or selling properties without the owner’s knowledge. This is especially common in cases where property titles are not regularly updated.
3. Maintenance & Security Issues
Vacant properties are prone to deterioration, vandalism, and theft. Without proper security and upkeep, the property’s value decreases, making it harder to sell or rent in the future.
4. Tenant Management Challenges
NRIs renting out their properties often struggle with unreliable tenants, delayed rent payments, and eviction difficulties due to legal complexities.
