A. Dear Client,

According to the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and MV Rules, 1989, when a vehicle is sold, the buyer must submit required documents and fees within 30 days to the RTO for ownership transfer and address change in the RC. Failure to do so incurs a penalty. Both the previous and present owners must sign statutory forms for this process. If the new owner uses the vehicle without transfer and an incident occurs, legal consequences may be faced. Banks are responsible for not facilitating reg ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

Even if criminal proceedings are ongoing against you in court or before a law enforcement agency, it is possible to obtain a visa, potentially for a short duration, with the permission of the relevant court or law enforcement agency. The Allahabad High Court has emphasized that the mere existence of a pending criminal case should not be the sole reason for withholding an individual's application for a visa or passport.

A. Dear Client, '

The buyer's approach to inflate the property value in the agreement for sale is both unacceptable and legally impermissible. A bank approves a home loan after thorough scrutiny of various factors, including the applicant's annual income, credit score, repayment capacity, property market value, certified property valuer's assessment, title and encumbrance status. Proposing an inflated property value for the agreement to secure a larger loan is deemed unethical and immoral. This ac ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

Every potential buyer has the unequivocal legal right to request the mother deed of the property they intend to purchase, as it mitigates risks associated with potential disputes. If the seller does not possess the mother deed, the buyer can obtain a copy from the Association, and even a certified copy can be requested. The current buyer holds the right to demand the mother deed from the seller.
