Contact UsAcquiring a property marks a significant life milestone, and the moment of NRI Property Possession in India is eagerly anticipated by owners. Yet, this process often proves intricate and time-consuming, entailing legal, financial, and administrative intricacies. Delays, incomplete paperwork, or disputes with builders can hinder property possession.
Our company specializes in alleviating these challenges. In India’s real estate market, delayed possession has discouraged NRI (Non-Resident Indian) buyers due to financial losses. However, recent legislation and court rulings have bolstered property buyer rights, granting them more empowerment.

Delayed possession is considered a breach of the builder-buyer agreement, which sets forth a specific date for the property’s possession. Builders are legally obligated by this agreement, and any breach can result in legal action.
At RK Legal Advisors, we offer NRI property possession in India services to ensure that you obtain possession of your property smoothly and hassle-free.
RERA has brought new hope for NRI buyers in India. The main aim of this Act is to empower the buyers and protect them from fraudulent and misleading acts of builders/developers. Under this Act, stringent provisions regarding delayed possession have been mentioned. It also entails legal action against builders/developers who default on the agreement. RERA mandates the developers to register on their website the full information related to the work-in-progress of the project and provide this information to the NRI buyers. Information should be detailed such as the type of project along with the foundation date to the completion date.
Delayed possession of the property is a breach of the buyer-seller agreement and therefore it is a breach of a contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The buyer can file a suit under this Act and initiate a civil or/and criminal proceedings.
NRIs looking for investments in India now can turn to various laws for respite and protection of their rights as buyers.
All these provisions help the NRIs to claim compensation. NRIs who invest in properties in India are also eligible for the interest on the payment made to the developer to date, in case of any delay. As provisions and rules of RERA vary from state to state, in some states the builder is liable to refund the whole amount invested by the buyer along with interest, if the developer cannot justify the delay.
