The reality of Indian real estate
Where most property matters go sideways
These are the six recurring failures we see across owners, buyers, builders and NRIs. Recognise yours early — the cost of fixing them grows with every passing month.
Builder delays & RERA non-compliance
Fit-out possession without OC, revised completion dates, forfeiture clauses no consumer forum will uphold — the playbook is well documented, and so are the remedies.
Read RERA articlesDisputed inheritance & ancestral property
Self-acquired vs ancestral, intestate succession, sons and daughters under the 2005 amendment — one wrong classification rewrites the entire entitlement.
Plan successionStamp duty & registration mistakes that void the deed
Under-valuation, wrong instrument, missed e-stamp, late registration — Section 17 of the Registration Act is unforgiving, and so is the Sub-Registrar.
Stamp duty guideNRIs stuck with FEMA, repatriation & POA from abroad
Apostilled POAs, Form 15CA/CB, lower-deduction certificates, AD-bank repatriation caps — there is a sequence, and skipping a step costs months.
Open NRI HubEncroachment, illegal possession, civil suits dragging on
Specific performance, injunction, mesne profits, partition — picking the right relief and the right forum is what shortens a 10-year matter to two.
