Legal Clarity, Cultural Sensitivity, and Human Rights Advocacy

From the historic Tamil settlements in Malaysia and Sri Lanka to the thriving Indian communities in Singapore, Australia, and Suriname, the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) identity is as diverse as the countries it spans.

Navigating Indian Law from Afar: A Trusted Legal Guide for the Global NRI Community

For the global Indian diaspora, the connection to the homeland is more than emotional; it often involves significant financial and legal ties.

Whether your family has been abroad for generations in Malaysia or Sri Lanka, or you are a skilled professional building a new life in Australia, Singapore, or the Netherlands, managing assets and legal affairs in India presents a unique set of challenges.

From property disputes and inheritance planning to complex tax obligations, the geographical distance can feel overwhelming.

This is where understanding your rights and finding expert guidance becomes paramount.

Human Rights Advocacy

If you or your family face violations of dignity, liberty, or equality—whether by public authorities or private entities—LLC can assist in filing complaints with The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of India .

The NHRC, established under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993, investigates violations and recommends corrective action to the government.

It also collaborates globally to uphold international human rights standards.

Your Rights and Protections: The Role of NHRC India

As an NRI, your rights concerning life, liberty, equality, and dignity concerning Indian assets or legal issues are protected. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of India plays a crucial role in this framework.

Established on October 12, 1993, under the Protection of Human Rights Act (PHRA), the NHRC is a beacon for human rights protection. Its mandate, as defined in Section 2(1)(d) of the Act, encompasses the rights guaranteed by the Indian Constitution and international covenants.

For NRIs, this is significant. If you face a violation of your rights in a matter related to India—such as property grabbing, administrative injustice, or denial of legal recourse—the NHRC can be a vital institution.

It can inquire into complaints against public servants and recommend action, ensuring your voice is heard even from across the oceans.

The NHRC’s work in coordinating with international bodies ensures that the principles of justice and human dignity are upheld for all, including the diaspora.
