79. Foreigner Inheriting Property in
India
Q: Sir
I would like to know if a British citizen can own inherited property in
India.
My brother in law was of Indian origin settled in UK for last 40 yrs. He
passed away a year and half ago. Can his inherited property be
transferred to his British wife? please let me know. Thank you.
