If you are an NRI and have settled outside India, can you still inherit property from your parents or grandparents in India? The answer is yes, but the rules around ownership transfer, ancestral property, agricultural land, taxation, TDS and repatriation can be complicated. In this video, we explain the key NRI property inheritance rules in simple Hindi. You will understand which properties an NRI can inherit, the difference between ancestral and self-acquired property, what happens when there is no Will, how mutation works, when probate may be required and how Power of Attorney can be used without coming to India.

अगर आप NRI हैं और India से बाहर settle हो चुके हैं, तो क्या आप अपने parents या grandparents की India में मौजूद property inherit कर सकते हैं? सीधा जवाब है—हाँ। NRI बनने से आपका inheritance right खत्म नहीं होता। लेकिन property अपने नाम कराने, बेचने, tax भरने और sale proceeds को विदेश भेजने के लिए अलग-अलग rules लागू होते हैं। इस वीडियो में आसान भाषा में समझिए NRI Property Inheritance के सभी जरूरी rules—Ancestral और Self-Acquired Property में क्या फर्क है, Will नहीं होने पर legal heirs कैसे तय होंगे, Mutation से ownership क्यों साबित नहीं होती और Probate कब जरूरी हो सकता है।

00:00You have become NRI, or you have become settled in India.
00:04So, do you have to inherit your parents or grandparents' property in India?
00:11The answer is correct. Yes, you can do it.
00:15In NRI, you don't have to be inheritance rights in India.
00:20But you have to pay for your support, pay for tax, pay for foreign countries and pay for foreign countries.
00:27And this is the most confusion.
00:31First of all, let's look at the difference between NRI and Indian citizenship.
00:36NRI, that is such a British citizen or such a person,
00:41who is a resident from FEMI, who is a resident from France.
00:46That is, he has settled.
00:49NRI is a residential flat, commercial property, plot, ancestral house, agricultural land, farm house,
00:56and plantation property.
01:01Here, you can inherit such property,
01:05such as NRI can't normally buy.
01:09Now, understand the difference between ancestral and self-acquired property.
01:11So, you have to understand the difference between self-acquired property.
01:14Self-acquired property.
01:16The property that has earned its income,
01:19which has earned its income or its funds.
01:23If the property has a valid will,
01:26then the property will generally transfer from that will.
01:30But the ancestral property,
01:33which you have got from your family,
01:35from your family,
01:37from your parents,
01:38from your parents,
01:38from your parents,
01:39from your parents,
01:39from your parents,
01:40from your parents,
01:41is a little complex.
01:42Every family property is not legally ancestral.
01:46If the property is genuinely,
01:49or actually an ancestral nature,
01:52then some family members can have birthrights.
01:55That's why NRI should not depend on the family or oral promise.
02:00If you have said that this property is your property,
02:04then don't do anything on it.
02:07Title documents, family tree, old sale deeds, partition deeds,
02:12and will need to check the will.
02:15If there is a dispute,
02:16if there is a possibility,
02:17then the property lawyer's written title opinion is better.
02:21If there is a deceased person,
02:23or the person who is not in the world,
02:26has left their own will,
02:29then the original will,
02:30the real will will,
02:31death certificate,
02:33property title deal,
02:35encumbrance certificate,
02:36tax receipt,
02:38identity and address proof,
02:42you can apply for the mutation.
02:45Now, mutation means,
02:46property record,
02:48owner's name update.
02:50That means,
02:51if the property is your name in the will,
02:53then you will be able to update your name in it.
02:56But,
02:57focus on,
02:58mutation is not proof of ownership.
03:01Ownership,
03:02title documents,
03:04succession law,
03:06will,
03:06and will,
03:07court order.
03:08If there is no will,
03:11then,
03:11inter-state succession rules apply.
03:14That means,
03:15the deceased person,
03:16who is in the personal law,
03:18who is in the personal law,
03:20who is in the personal law,
03:22who is in the legal law,
03:24will be prepared.
03:25In the Hindu family,
03:26your husband or spouse,
03:28your partner,
03:29your children,
03:30and your mother,
03:32class 1,
03:33can come right.
03:36So,
03:36this means,
03:37if I live in the village,
03:39then,
03:39my part is wrong.
03:41But,
03:42this is also risk,
03:44that,
03:45I am only a legal lawyer.
03:46legal hire certificate,
03:48family tree,
03:49affidabit,
03:50other hires,
03:51NOC,
03:53succession certificate,
03:55letters of administration,
03:57or probate.
03:59Probate,
04:00i.e.
04:00court,
04:01will be valid.
04:03In every case,
04:04probate is not compulsory,
04:06but,
04:06contested will,
04:07high value property,
04:09unclear title,
04:10or,
04:10notified jurisdiction.
04:14If you have a brother,
04:16sibling,
04:17or,
04:17or,
04:18related objection,
04:19then,
04:20simple mutation,
04:21could be changed in court dispute.
04:23Now,
04:24in your mind,
04:25the question is,
04:25NRI,
04:26India,
04:27or,
04:27India,
04:28will process this?
04:29So,
04:30this can be given power of attorney,
04:33POA.
04:34If any trusted relative,
04:36lawyer,
04:36or professional,
04:38limited POA,
04:39blank,
04:40or unlimited POA,
04:41you will never give.
04:43POA,
04:43should be clear,
04:44that,
04:45you will collect documents,
04:46you will apply,
04:48you will apply,
04:48you will file a tax return,
04:50you will operate a bank account,
04:52or you will execute a sale deed.
04:54If POA is outside India,
04:57then,
04:58Indian embassy,
04:58or consulate,
05:01or notarization,
05:02and,
05:02you will need applicable stamp duty process.
05:06Original title papers,
05:08of course,
05:08you will have copies,
05:09and acknowledgements,
05:11and,
05:12also,
05:12verify.
05:15Now,
05:15the rule of agricultural land,
05:16is the most important,
05:18because,
05:19if you have an ancestral property,
05:21in bharat,
05:22there are more possibilities,
05:24that,
05:24that,
