Legal Light Consulting: Your Trusted Partner for NRI Legal Services in Punjab
Legal Light Consulting LLC is here to help Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) of Punjab origin with their legal needs in Punjab. We understand the unique challenges NRIs face, such as property disputes, matrimonial issues, and other civil or criminal matters.
Our expert legal team works closely with Punjab’s Department of NRI Affairs to provide reliable, efficient, and personalized solutions. Below is an overview of the support available for NRIs in Punjab and how Legal Light Consulting can assist.
About the Department of NRI Affairs, Punjab
Established in 2002, the Department of NRI Affairs is the main body in Punjab dedicated to addressing NRI-related issues. Led by the Minister for NRI Affairs and managed by the Principal Secretary, the department ensures NRIs stay connected with their homeland while resolving their concerns effectively.
NRI Support Features of the Department:
NRI Police Stations
15 specialized police stations, overseen by an Additional Director General of Police (ADGP), handle NRI complaints, such as property or matrimonial disputes. These stations are equipped with staff and resources to assist NRIs promptly.
Special NRI Civil Court
A dedicated court in Jalandhar provides speedy justice for NRI cases. Plans are underway to establish five additional courts in Amritsar, Ludhiana, Nawanshahar (SBS Nagar), Moga, and Mohali (SAS Nagar) for faster case resolution.
NRI Commission
The commission, chaired by a retired High Court Judge, includes four official members (senior IAS and IPS officers, and experts in NRI matters) and up to two honorary members (NRIs or OCIs). It handles complaints and ensures fair resolutions.
NRI Nodal Officer
Each district in Punjab has a designated Nodal Officer to assist NRIs with their concerns, including investment opportunities and coordination with local authorities.
Vision and Strategies
The Department of NRI Affairs aims to support the welfare of Punjab-origin NRIs and OCIs by resolving their issues and fostering a strong connection with Punjab. Key strategies include:
Grievance Redressal
Online platforms, such as a website with a grievance portal, email, and social media, allow NRIs to report issues related to property, marriage, or other disputes. These are resolved with the help of district officials like Patwaris, Tehsildars, and police officers.
Development Projects
NRIs can contribute to Punjab’s growth by funding development projects in villages and cities, with support from the state government.
Global NRI Support
The department promotes the welfare of Punjabi NRIs worldwide through legal assistance and community engagement.
