Whether your business partner in India is hiding accounts, an investment you made never turned into the shares or returns you were promised, or a vendor walked away from a signed contract, you can pursue recovery without flying back to India. As your NRI business dispute advocate in Ahmedabad, Raval Law Associates investigates what actually happened, pursues both the civil and criminal angles where they apply, and represents you through a Power of Attorney so the case moves forward while you stay where you are. Call us at +91 99099 57585 and walk us through what’s happened.
Business disputes involving NRIs tend to fall into one of a few patterns. We’ve set out the main ones below — tell us which one matches your situation and we’ll tell you the right path forward.
Email us at legal@ravallawassociates.com with what’s happened and any documents you have — the partnership deed, investment agreement, or contract — and we’ll tell you where you stand.
Send a legal notice demanding full accounts first — most partnership deeds entitle you to this regardless of who’s managing day-to-day operations. If your partner refuses or stalls, you can file a civil suit for accounts and your rightful share, and ask the court for an injunction to stop further transactions while the case proceeds. Where the evidence shows your partner deliberately concealed funds or misused business assets, a criminal complaint for cheating or breach of trust runs alongside the civil case, not instead of it.
Yes, and you don’t need to be the only investor affected for this to work — recent cases involving crores in NRI investments have moved through exactly this process. Start with a written demand for the shares, documentation, or repayment you were promised. If that goes nowhere, file a civil suit to recover your investment, and pursue a criminal complaint for fraud if the person who took your money made false promises or hid material facts, like having already pledged your promised shares to someone else.
It depends on what your contract actually says. If it includes an arbitration clause, that usually takes priority over going straight to court, and Indian courts will generally enforce it even if you’d rather litigate. If there’s no arbitration clause, or the dispute involves serious fraud rather than a straightforward breach, a civil suit in the appropriate commercial court is the right route — disputes worth ₹3 lakh or more in India go through specialized commercial courts built for faster resolution. We read your contract first so you’re not guessing which path applies.
Advocate Parth Raval and Advocate Akanksha Raval each bring 9 years of experience handling civil and commercial disputes for NRIs in Ahmedabad’s courts. That experience covers what actually matters in these cases:
You’ll work directly with one of the founding advocates on your dispute, not a junior associate juggling your case between unrelated matters.
