Frequently Asked Questions
Why should Canadian NRIs obtain the mutation order, not only the Fard?
The underlying order or instrument explains why the entry changed and whether it reflects a deed, succession or administrative decision.
Can a Punjab NRI body decide title?
No. A commission or facilitation body does not replace the competent civil or revenue forum for title adjudication.
Should Canadian identification names match Punjab records?
Yes. Variations should be identified and supported before executing authority or filing proceedings.
Can a cousin inspect land under a limited authority?
A carefully drafted authority may permit specified record or site steps without granting sale or transfer powers.
What evidence helps if cultivation or possession changed?
Historic and current revenue entries, lease or crop records, dated site evidence and witness information may all be relevant.
Can proceedings continue while the owner remains in Canada?
Many stages can, through counsel and lawful authority, but evidence or a court direction may require participation.
