Common Questions
Why does this problem affect NRIs more than residents in India?
Distance reduces visibility and slows response, which allows small issues to escalate unnoticed.
Is this problem avoidable?
In many cases, yes. Early awareness, documentation, and local accountability significantly reduce risk.
Do these issues usually appear suddenly?
No. Most problems develop gradually with early warning signs that are often missed.
Can this be handled without traveling to India?
Often yes, if there is reliable on-ground presence and clear communication.
Does NRI Kosh provide legal, tax, or medical advice?
No. Information is general and informational. Qualified professionals should be consulted for advice.
When should an NRI take action?
As early as possible — ideally before the issue turns into a dispute or emergency.
