Questions NRIs Ask About Property Management

Guardia is an NRI property management platform built for NRIs who own property in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh but live in countries like Australia, the US, the UK, or the Gulf. We take away the stress of your apartment, villa, house, or plot with sale, tenant management, rent, maintenance, property maintenance, legal paperwork so you never have to depend on relatives or make an emergency trip to India.

Yes. Guardia is a legally registered company operating across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Every rental agreement we create is Aadhaar-verified, digitally signed, and enforceable under Indian law. We maintain thorough tenant documentation and structured compliance workflows so your property and your rights are protected at every stage, even when you're on the other side of the world.

Guardia was founded by a dedicated team located in Australia and India, who have personally navigated the stress of managing Indian property from overseas. We built this because we watched families go through the same frustrations repeatedly: missed rent, ignored maintenance, unreliable sales channel partners and parents doing things they shouldn't have to. Guardia exists to fix that.

Most local channel partners work deal by deal. Transactional, chaotic, and often leading to tax and legal problems you only discover too late. On sales, they lock you into an initial agreement, collect a deposit, then drag the timeline without ever closing with a real end buyer. Guardia works as a long-term trusted partner managing your entire property portfolio. We have an in-house legal, accounting, and sales team working alongside you. One dedicated advisor stays with you at every step of the deal until the money reaches your account and remains available for any queries after that.

Guardia covers Hyderabad, Secunderabad, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Guntur, Tirupati, Machilipatnam and surrounding areas across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Within Hyderabad, we manage properties across Gachibowli, Kondapur, Kukatpally, Miyapur, Madhapur, Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, Kompally, Hayatnagar, Financial District and more. If your property is in a smaller town, reach out to us. Our network is expanding and we will tell you honestly if we can help.

Once Guardia takes over, your parents are completely free from property responsibilities. No tenant calls, no maintenance runs, no chasing rent. We handle everything on the ground directly. Your family in Hyderabad or Vijayawada stays stress-free while you stay updated through the app. That is the whole point.

Book a free consultation at guardia.co and tell us what you know even if it's not much. We'll assess the property's current condition, rental potential, and documentation gaps, then walk you through exactly what needs to happen next. Many of our clients hadn't seen their property in three to five years when they first called us. That's a normal starting point.

Yes. Guardia helps NRIs sell apartments, villas, agricultural lands, plots, and independent houses across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh without travelling back to India. We manage property evaluation, verified buyer coordination, site visits, documentation, and legal paperwork entirely on the ground. Whether you are based in Sydney, Houston, London, or Dubai, the entire sale is designed to be clean, transparent, and handled remotely from start to finish.

Guardia is the first property management company in India to implement an escrow-based system for NRI rental collection. Every rupee collected from your tenant is deposited into a strictly audited third-party escrow account. Guardia never touches this money. At the end of each month, your rent is transferred directly to your Indian bank account after deducting only our commission and any approved invoices. Full transparency, every month, without exception.

During a property sale, money moves directly between the buyer and seller. Guardia never holds your sale proceeds. We facilitate the entire process including legal documentation, accounting advice, and compliance with FEMA regulations so your funds reach your overseas account correctly and legally. Our sales commission is invoiced only after the property settlement is fully complete. You pay us when the deal is done and the money is in your hands.

Guardia has been serving NRI property owners since September 2025. The research and on-ground service network building began in December 2023 — nearly two years of preparation before we opened to the public. Guardia operates as Guardian Global Private Limited in Australia and is incorporated in India as Guardian Global India Pvt Ltd, giving NRI clients the security of a dual-registered entity operating under both Australian and Indian law.

Once you submit the form or call us, our team gets back to you within 24 hours. Depending on your time zone whether you're in Sydney, Houston, Dubai, or London — we reach out via WhatsApp or phone at a time that works for you. No paperwork needed upfront. Just a straightforward conversation about your property in Telangana or Andhra Pradesh and what you need from us.

Yes, completely free. There are no hidden charges, no sign-up fees, and no obligation to proceed after the call. We simply listen to your situation, understand your property in Hyderabad, Vijayawada, or wherever it is in Andhra Pradesh or Telangana, and tell you honestly what we can do for you. The consultation is our starting point, not a sales pitch.

Yes. We have dedicated contact numbers in both Australia and India, along with WhatsApp support for quick responses across time zones. Our team works regularly with Telugu families in Sydney, Melbourne, Houston, New Jersey, London and Dubai. If a call does not suit you right now, you can book an online appointment at a time that works around your schedule — no back and forth needed.

Not at all. Many NRIs who contact us haven't seen their property in years and don't have documents readily available. You just need to tell us what you know about the city, the type of property, and what you're looking to do, whether that's renting it out, maintaining it, or selling it. We handle everything from that starting point and guide you through what's needed along the way.

A Pattadar Passbook is an official land ownership document issued by the state government in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. It records key details such as the survey number, land extent, and ownership history for agricultural land.

Yes. If you don't have your Pattadar Passbook number, you can still verify ownership using the Village, Survey Number, and Khata Number.

This tool is specifically designed for agricultural land verification. For residential and commercial properties, you can use Guardia's Encumbrance Certificate check through Property KYC.

Most ownership checks are completed within a few minutes because the tool queries live government land records.

Yes. Guardia only uses the information you provide to query official government databases. Your ownership data is not shared with third parties.

If there's a mismatch, you'll see a clear alert on your Property KYC dashboard. Guardia's team can help you understand the issue and guide you through the next steps, including whether a correction should be filed with the Sub-Registrar Office.

Yes, it is possible to sign a rental agreement remotely under the 2026 Digital India framework, using Aadhaar-based e-signatures. Guardia ensures you remain compliant with the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana tenancy laws. It also does Aadhaar verification and then wraps up the agreement wherever you are, no need to travel in India. This is legally binding and the whole process remains fully remote. Digital India Act 2023 | AP & Telangana Tenancy Law

Guardia finds tenants via various mediums like Guardia local network, newspaper ads, on-site database in Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Guntur, and major cities & towns across AP & Telangana. Background checks and Aadhaar-based verification are conducted before shortlisting tenants. You retain final approval. If you already have a tenant, we verify and manage them from day one.

If you own a property in India but reside overseas, your tenant must deduct 31.2% TDS on the rent under Section 195. This comes up as a normal approach across Hyderabad, Bangalore, and most other places. But that 31.2% is basically an advanced style holding amount, not the whole or final tax. When you later submit your Indian income tax return, the actual tax gets worked out based on your situation. If the tenant deducted more than what you actually owe, then the excess is typically returned to you as a refund. So your final responsibility depends on your eligible deductions, the tax regime you select, and your total income earned in India. In practice, most NRIs pay less than that initial TDS figure. Income Tax Act, Section 195 | Finance Act 2025

As per Section 195, when a tenant pays rent to an NRI landlord, they are generally supposed to deduct TDS at 31.2% from the rent amount before it is actually paid. That said, this is kind of a provisional or on account deduction. Later, after you file your Indian income tax return, if the TDS that was deducted is more than your real tax liability, the extra portion is refunded back to your NRO account. Guardia's tax team then checks the picture via Form 26AS, prepares your filing and also assists in getting the refund you're eligible for. Income Tax Act, Section 195 | Finance Act 2025

Yes, you can request a Lower Deduction Certificate (LDC) under Section 197 by filing Form 13 with the Income Tax Department. After approval, your tenant may deduct TDS at a lower rate, based on your estimated actual tax liability instead of the usual 31.2% benchmark. In practice this helps monthly cash flow a bit, and it usually lowers the size of the refund you'd otherwise be asking for later via your ITR filing. Guardia's tax team reviews your eligibility and manages the whole application journey for you. Income Tax Act, Section 197 | Form 13

Usually, no, not if your country has a Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement with India, and most do. As of 2026, the US, UK, UAE, Canada, and Australia are all covered under DTAA. So you pay tax on the rental income in India, then when you file in your country of residence you claim that amount as a Foreign Tax Credit, more or less. Guardia basically connects you with NRI tax specialists, who take care of the forms and steps so you don't end up paying more than you should. Source: DTAA provisions under the Income Tax Act 1961 | Ministry of Finance, India

Yes, and it is almost always in your favour. TDS at 31.2% is a flat withholding. Your actual liability after deductions, such as municipal taxes and the standard 30% on Net Annual Value, is usually lower. Filing ITR-2 is the only way to claim that refund. You must file if your total Indian income exceeds ₹2.5 lakh. Guardia's tax team handles it end-to-end so you don't leave money on the table. Income Tax Act | CBDT ITR Guidelines

This is a fair question and many NRIs have asked this. The announcement of Budget 2025 was impossible to miss: zero income tax up to ₹12 lakh under the new regime. Sounds like it should apply to all, but it doesn't. NRIs are subject to the same slab rates as resident individuals, but they do not get the benefit of the rebate under Section 87A. So, tax is payable from the first rupee of taxable income - even if it is below ₹12 lakh. What NRIs get is the higher basic exemption limit of ₹4 lakh under the new tax regime. Otherwise, normal slab rates apply, with no rebate to reduce the bill. So if your rental income is ₹6 lakh, a resident Indian pays zero. As an NRI, you pay tax on everything above ₹4 lakh. That said, DTAA provisions, standard deduction on rental income, and municipal tax deductions can still reduce what you actually owe. Guardia's tax team makes sure you are using every deduction available to you. Section 87A, Income Tax Act 1961 | Union Budget 2025-26

We know this is usually the toughest part, not the forms, but the people. For most NRIs, there's a trusted family member or a long lasting channel partner, and switching feels a little like a personal cut, even if nothing is "wrong". Guardia does it carefully, we introduce ourselves as an extra professional layer, not a direct replacement, and we keep your contact involved as a local representative too. The transition is set up in a respectful, shared way. Also yes, the longer it stays delayed the harder it can get so lets do it together step by step.

If the tenant refuses to pay rent or will not vacate the property Guardia takes action quickly. We have a registered Power of Attorney. We work with property law partners in Hyderabad, Vijayawada and every district in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. You do not need to travel to India to take care of this. Guardia handles all the follow-ups; we document every single step of the process and we use legal channels if that is what is needed. If the case goes to court our local legal partners in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana will take care of it. With a registered Power of Attorney Guardia represents the property owner from outside of India. Source: Registration Act 1908 | AP Tenancy Act | Transfer of Property Act 1882

We collect rent digitally with escrow-based payment partners and transfer it directly to your NRO or NRE account with a complete timestamped record on your Guardia dashboard. Every transaction is recorded, trustee-audited and fully RERA compliant. No cash. No middle men. No wondering if it went in.

From 2026, your registered POA lets Guardia sign agreements, handle legal issues, coordinate maintenance, and represent you in the local Sub-Registrar Office. You do not need to be in India. Registration Act 1908 | Power of Attorney Act 1882

You need an NRO account to receive rent, sale proceeds, or any income earned in India. An NRE account is only for foreign income you bring into India and is fully repatriable. Rent from your property must go into your NRO account first. After taxes and paperwork, you can repatriate up to USD 1 million per year abroad.

No, you cannot receive rent directly into your NRE account. All rental income from Indian property must go into your NRO account. The NRE account is only for foreign income. After taxes and paperwork, you can move funds from your NRO to your NRE account or send them abroad.

Guardia helps you handle property maintenance emergencies with an on-the-ground team in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh that responds to you directly. Whether it is a water leak, an electrical issue, or structural damage, our team coordinates with verified local contractors to resolve the issue. You receive a full report with photos after every job.

Yes, we assess the issue, get quotes from contractors, and share the details with you before any work begins. As per the service agreement, we have 1000 Rs pre-authorized for minor works; anything over that amount, we will share a quote with you for your approval. You approve the cost and the approach before we proceed. Nothing is done to your property without your knowledge and consent.

Maintenance starts once you approve, then costs are either deducted from rent collected through Guardia's escrow system or billed transparently. All the transactions are timestamped and visible to you in your Guardia app. Rent is transferred directly to your NRO or NRE account with a full payment trail. The Equipment, hardware, and security personnel costs are always quoted separately and upfront before any work begins. You stay in control of every rupee spent on your property from anywhere in the world.

Yes. We provide security personnel, install live cameras, and conduct certified land surveys to verify boundaries. Our verified field channel partners conduct on-the-ground visits and provide current condition reports, photos, and videos, which will be shared directly with you via WhatsApp, email, or the Guardia app. We recommend a prioritized list of repairs, but no work begins without your approval. Your Property is actively managed, and if needed, an emergency visit is dispatched within 24 hours.

Guardia conducts periodic or on-demand visits by a verified field channel partner under every plan. After each visit, you receive a written property condition report along with photos and videos, which are shared with you directly via WhatsApp, email, or the Guardia app. If an emergency arises, a field channel partner is dispatched to the site within 24 hours. We ensure you always know the exact condition of your property without having to fly to India.

We send our trusted people to check the property. They look at all the details we have about it. They make sure the property lines are correct with the help of experts and they check the government records to prove that someone is using the property without permission. This proof is good enough to use in court or at the revenue office. If needed we send security people to stop others from using the property. If you need to take action, Guardia works with lawyers to help you get your property back.

Yes. Guardia has a team in Hyderabad, Vijayawada and other places in Telugu states that can talk to your housing society or RWA for you. They can help with things like disagreements over maintenance costs going to society meetings for you or sending notices. Our team acts on your behalf. Tell you what happened. If the problem gets serious and you need to go to court, Guardia works with lawyers to protect you and your property, Guardia and the lawyers work to help you with your property and your problems, with the housing society or RWA.

Yes, you can sell your property in Hyderabad or Andhra Pradesh without visiting India. Guardia handles document verification, legal opinions, buyer screening, registration, and repatriation of funds. You sign a Power of Attorney then your representatives will be accompanied by us at the Sub-Registrar's office. You will get help from lawyers and accountants who are experts in India and your country. We keep you updated via phone, WhatsApp, email, or the Guardia app.

Our verified local channel partners are certified. These channel partners visit your property, talk to buyers and bring us curated leads. All of this is done on your behalf. Every buyer interested in your property must undergo an evaluation. This is to ensure the buyer is genuine and has the funds to purchase your property. We coordinate site visits, share detailed reports, and keep you informed at every stage. Final price negotiation is mediated by us with you in the driving seat to decide final price.

It depends on your property's document readiness, market conditions, asking price and buyer availability. We audit your ownership records, identify gaps, and obtain a formal legal opinion from empanelled lawyers. To avoid delays, make sure that you have all the documents, including the title deed, encumbrance certificate, PAN card, and tax records. After we get everything and your property is sales-ready, our verified local channel partners start looking for the buyers. Most properties settle in 3 - 6 months if there is no legal complication.

The documents you need to provide are your title deed, property tax receipts, Aadhaar or passport, PAN card, existing encumbrance certificate and OCI card if applicable and a Power of Attorney is required if you are not physically present. For financial compliance you need Forms 15CA and 15CB are mandatory for remittances exceeding ₹5 lakhs, and Form IPI-7 must be submitted to the RBI within 90 days of the transaction. If you do not have all of these ready, tell us what you have, and we will guide you through what is needed and how to get it sorted remotely. Missing documents are not grounds for delaying the process. A Lower Deduction Certificate (LDC) can reduce TDS deducted by the buyer under Section 195 of the Income Tax Act. Guardia conducts a full document health check and gap analysis.

When your property is sold you won't receive the money directly. FEMA rules says sale proceeds first need to be deposited in your NRO account in India. From there, you can repatriate up to USD 1 million per financial year provided your taxes are clear. Guardia coordinates this with an authorized dealer bank, deals with capital gains tax through a resident CA and applies for a Lower Deduction Certificate to bring down the TDS your buyer deducts upfront. At the end you get a formal closure certificate. All the money is accounted for, legally transferred and documented.

Yes and this is where most NRI sales go wrong without the right help. Before your property even hits the market, Guardia's empanelled lawyers audit every document, flag what is missing and get it resolved. Nothing goes to a market until the opinion is clean. Registration at the Sub-Registrar is by way of a Power of Attorney, where someone authorised signs on your behalf so you never need to fly in. Once the sale is complete, our CA takes care of the tax filing and repatriation paperwork. Once it's finished you get a closure certificate. No loose ends. No follow-up.

More than you'd imagine, this happens, and it's manageable. A tenant can't stop a valid sale, but they need to be managed properly. Guardia issues a formal notice under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act 1882, giving the tenant a definite legal period to vacate. If they refuse, Guardia files for eviction in the local courts in Telangana or Andhra Pradesh. Notices, filings, hearings, the whole bit. Before any buyer ever sees the property, the team comes in with cleaning, staging and photography when the property is empty. You never get involved in the conflict at all.

Our property sale process consists of pre-sale, sale and post-sale steps. During the pre-sale, we ensure the property is legally and physically verified. After this, throughout the process, we never share any documentation or your details with the channel partners. Once we have a solid buyer with the right intent and financial capability, then we will organise a negotiation. During this whole process, your information is secure and never disclosed.

Yeah. As an NRI, you have the legal right to sell inherited residential or commercial property in India. Tax treatment is similar to selling property you purchased yourself. If your property is a long term capital asset (held for more than 24 months including the previous owner's period of ownership), then LTCG tax rate is 12.5% + surcharge + cess. The buyer can deduct TDS at an effective rate of around 13% to 14.95% depending on the transaction value and applicable surcharge. When calculating capital gains on property inherited, the original owner's acquisition cost and holding period of the property are considered. Source: Section 49(1), Income Tax Act | Finance Act 2024

It depends on how long the property has been held. Properties held for over 24 months are known as Long-Term Capital Assets, which now attract Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax of 12.5% without indexation due to amendments in the Finance Act 2024. If you sell the property within 24 months from the date of purchase, it is considered a Short Term Capital Asset and the gains from such a sale are taxed as per your income slab. The buyer is also required to deduct TDS before making payment and when you file your Indian income tax return it is adjusted.

When an NRI sells property in India, the buyer must deduct TDS under Section 195 before making payment. For long-term capital gains transactions, the effective TDS rate is generally between 13% and 14.95%, depending on the surcharge and cess applicable to the transaction value. For short-term capital gains, TDS may be significantly higher because the gains are taxed at applicable slab rates. In many cases, NRIs apply for a Lower Deduction Certificate under Section 197 so that TDS is deducted based on the actual estimated tax liability instead of the full default rate.

Yes, we handle your electricity, water, society maintenance, and property tax bills for any property in Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, or anywhere in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Every payment is logged in your Guardia app with the exact amount, date, and provider. You see everything, rupee by rupee. If you prefer, you can pay bills yourself through the app. If there's ever a dispute with a department, you can raise it directly within our app.

You never need to worry about missed payments. Every due date is tracked and paid before disconnection. If anything slips, the utility provider gets a call and the issue is fixed on-site. You get an update. No overseas calls needed.

It's very simple. You can see every payment in your Guardia app: amount, date, and the provider paid. At the end of the month, you get a full statement. Nothing is hidden. You know exactly where your money goes.

Yes, we still pay every bill for your vacant property. Keeping electricity and water running protects your house and avoids problems with the local authorities. Whether you have a tenant or not, we make sure nothing lapses. Your property stays ready for sale or the next rental.

Property tax is always your responsibility, whether it's GHMC in Hyderabad, GVMC in Vizag, or CDMA in any Andhra town. Even if your rental agreement says the tenant pays, the law puts the liability on you. We track every due date and pay on time, so you never face penalties or lapses while you're abroad.

Khata or mutation is the municipal record held by GHMC in Hyderabad, GVMC in Visakhapatnam, or CDMA across Andhra towns that officially links your name to your property for tax and legal purposes. If you inherited, bought, or received property as a gift. The documents required depend on how you came to own the property death certificate and legal heir certificate for inheritance, registered sale deed for a purchase, gift deed if it was transferred. That blocks sales and approvals. We handle mutation and get the Khata in your name, all on the ground. You don't need to fly in.

Yes, you get full tax filing support for your Indian rental income. We handle your Indian, US, and UK tax compliance. Every deduction you qualify for is claimed. Your returns are filed on time. You do not have to figure out Indian taxes from overseas. Hundreds of NRIs like you already use this service.

TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) applies to NRI rental income under Section 195 of the Income Tax Act. Your tenant must deduct TDS at 31.2% from the first rupee of rent before payment, regardless of your total income. This is just a withholding tax, not your final liability. Your actual tax is calculated when you file your Indian ITR. If your total taxable income is lower after deductions, you can claim a refund of excess TDS deducted.

Yes, when you sell property in India, you deal with capital gains tax, TDS, and strict repatriation rules. We calculate your capital gains. You get a clear list of exemptions you can claim. Your sale is structured to keep your tax bill as low as possible within Indian law.

You want to move your money from India to your overseas account. That is repatriation. FEMA rules apply. We prepare every document, work directly with your bank, and get your funds to your account in Australia, the US, the UK, or the Gulf.

If you earn rent from property in India, you must file an Indian income tax return. It does not matter where you live. We handle everything. Your taxable income is calculated, every deduction claimed, and your return filed on time. Right now, rental income up to 12 lakh rupees is tax-exempt.

Yes, there are 3 ways to do it. First, under Section 54, you sell a residential property, reinvest the capital gains into another residential property within 2 years, and pay zero tax. Section 54F applies when you sell land or commercial property and reinvest the full sale proceeds into a residential house within 2 years. Section 54EC invests gains into government bonds within 6 months, up to ₹50 lakh. Miss any deadline and the exemption is gone. Our accounting team identifies your best option before the sale closes.

If you still have access to the mobile number registered with your Aadhaar you may be able to update it using the official mAadhaar app, subject to UIDAI's eligibility requirements. Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) website, has recently introduced a face-authentication feature on the official mAadhaar mobile app which allows eligible users to request a phone number update online and if the phone number linked is not available then the only options is to be physically visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra or authorised Aadhaar enrolment/update centre. Your identity will be verified using biometric authentication before the new mobile number is updated. For PAN, you can update your contact details by logging into the Income Tax e-Filing portal. If your PAN records need to be updated, you can submit a PAN correction request through the relevant PAN service provider, Protean (formerly NSDL) or UTIITSL.

Yes, but it depends on what you need to update. NRIs can update their Aadhaar address online through myAadhaar if they meet the requirements. However, some updates, such as biometrics or certain personal details, still require a visit to an Aadhaar centre in India.
For a detailed explanation, read Can NRIs Update Aadhaar Details From Abroad? Here’s What Actually Works

Yes. If your Aadhaar-linked mobile number is active and you can complete the required authentication, you can submit an address-update request through myAadhaar from abroad. You’ll also need to provide a valid proof-of-address document.

Yes. NRIs can provide an international or non-Indian mobile number in their Aadhaar details. However, SMS messages are not delivered to international mobile numbers, so an overseas number may not work in exactly the same way as an Indian number for every Aadhaar service.

Not through the Aadhaar App while physically outside India. The app now supports mobile-number updates in specified situations, but UIDAI clearly states that the Aadhaar App cannot be used outside India. If you need to change your Aadhaar-linked mobile number while abroad, check the latest UIDAI process and plan the update accordingly.

Not through the Aadhaar App at present. These details are not currently available for update through the app, so you may need to visit an Aadhaar Seva Kendra or authorised Aadhaar enrolment/update centre with the required documents. If you’re living abroad, it’s worth planning this around your next visit to India.

No. UIDAI currently states that the Aadhaar App cannot be used outside India. If you’re living in the US, UK, Australia, UAE or another country, you cannot use the app while abroad. Some Aadhaar services, such as address updates through myAadhaar, may still be available online.

Yes. Updates to your photograph, fingerprints or iris details require an in-person visit to an Aadhaar Seva Kendra or authorised Aadhaar enrolment/update centre. These biometric updates cannot currently be completed remotely through the Aadhaar App.

Yes. An NRI can enrol for Aadhaar using a foreign address if it is supported by the required documents. UIDAI specifically allows NRIs with an overseas address recorded in their passport to enrol using that address. In such cases, the NRI receives password-protected e-Aadhaar through their registered email address.

Yes, you can sign your Aadhaar-based digital rental agreements fully valid under the IT Act 2000 & Indian Evidence Act 1872. However, Aadhaar is not legally mandatory. You can use your PAN, Passport or even Driving license. Guardia drafts every agreement to comply with tenancy rules in Hyderabad, Vijayawada and across both Telugu States. Your rights as an owner are protected, even if you sign from London or Dubai.

Yes, Guardia can help. Our legal team guides you through the Power of Attorney process so someone authorized can act on your behalf in India for property-related matters. We advise you based on the situation whether you need a General PoA or a Specific PoA for property sale, tenant management or court representation and assist with drafting, notarized, and apostilled and help you get it properly attested through the Indian embassy or consulate in your country.

The legal process begins with a formal notice under Section 106, Transfer of Property Act 1882, giving the tenant 15-30 days to vacate, but if the tenant ignores the notice then an eviction filing in the Rent Control or Civil Court. Guardia helps you handle notices, filings, and court appearances in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh without requiring you to fly back to India.

Yes, Guardia can help. If you face encroachment or boundary disputes we act fast. Our team inspects your property, collects evidence and takes action in local courts or with municipal authorities. Property disputes are resolved quickly. Your ownership stays secure.

To transfer or sell property as an NRI, you need documents such as your NRI status documents, Property or title documents, and Indian tax compliance documents which include title deed, PAN card, Proof of Address, Aadhaar or passport encumbrance certificate, Mutation Certificate, Property Tax Receipts and any rental agreements. If you are selling you also need TDS and LRS proofs. We review your case, check that you have all documents and give you a clear checklist.

No, your overseas Will does not cover property in India. If you want to save your family years of paperwork you should register a Will in India for your assets. A local Will, registered and specific avoids delays. We help you get it done. A Will in India is necessary.

If you are dealing with a family or ancestral property dispute in India, which is often managed remotely. This dispute is typically resolved through Alternative Dispute Resolution and Mediation Options, or by having a registered Power of Attorney (POA) in favor of a trusted lawyer to represent them in court. We check the ownership structure, then guide you on the route: family settlement, partition deed or court case. We avoid unnecessary family fallout.
