Key Legal Challenges Demanding Specialist Expertise Indian International Lawyers
Living across two countries, your dual life therefore demands a unique legal approach. Moreover, because Indian law intersects with the legal system of your country of residence, such as the UK or Canada, you need more than standard legal advice; in fact, you require specialised international expertise.
Navigating Regulatory Shifts and Financial Compliance
Taxation remains one of the most critical areas. You must align your global income with India’s evolving tax regime:
- Residency Rules Tighten: The anticipated Income Tax Bill 2025 updates residency rules for high-income NRIs, effective from April 2026. Be proactive: If your stay in India extends beyond the 120-day rule, you risk triggering global income taxation.
- Capital Gains Relief: A landmark Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) ruling in 2025 offers a massive saving. NRIs selling property after July 2024 can elect to pay a 12.5% long-term capital gains tax without complex indexation benefits. This simplifies transactions and directly saves costs.
- Relaxed TCS Rules: Good news for investment! The Budget 2025-26 introduced relaxed Tax Collected at Source (TCS) rules, making the repatriation of funds for investments and property sales significantly easier for NRIs in Singapore or Australia.
Protecting Your Assets: Property and Succession
Property disputes are a primary concern. We actively work to safeguard your hard-earned assets:
- Digital Security Against Fraud: The Registration Bill 2025 is a game-changer, digitising land records to reduce fraud risks. Our Indian International Lawyers use this new digital infrastructure to conduct secure title verification and property conveyancing, whether your asset is in Mumbai or Delhi.
- Foreign Wills Clarity: A crucial 2025 Delhi High Court decision clarified that the foreign wills of NRIs do apply to Indian immovable assets, provided they comply with local laws. We ensure your foreign estate planning documents are enforceable in India, giving you peace of mind.
- Family Inheritance Rights: The Supreme Court, in the case Re: NRI Property Rights vs. State of Punjab (2025), reinforced equal inheritance rights for NRIs, empowering you in any succession matter.
Business and Corporate Law Updates
Running a business in India is easier than ever, but compliance is mandatory:
- Simplified Corporate Compliance: Following the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2020, further reforms in 2025 enhance digital portals and simplify compliance, which is particularly beneficial for NRI entrepreneurs.
- Mandatory Reporting: NRIs in the UAE with global ventures must note the updated mandatory foreign asset reporting requirements, which require meticulous compliance with Indian financial laws.
- Intellectual Property Surge: India’s IP reforms led to a remarkable 44% rise in filings by 2025. We help you secure your trademarks and patents seamlessly, leveraging this modern framework.
Recent Legal Reforms Enhancing Accessibility and Security
India’s Ministry of Law and Justice actively supports the global Indian community by improving accessibility:
- e-Filing and Remote Case Tracking: We utilise the judiciary’s enhanced e-filing system and online portals to file cases and track proceedings 24/7, making the distance whether you’re in Canada or Australia irrelevant.
- Immigration Streamlining with Stricter Reporting: The Immigration and Foreigners Act 2025 simplifies certain visa processes and work permits for returning NRIs from the USA, but it also enforces stricter reporting requirements. We guide you through the seamless transition.
