The first of its kind service for members of the Indian diaspora / migrants around the world
India’s very first and absolutely exclusive NRI service, ‘NRI Guardian’ that will serve the needs of the Indian diaspora or migrants wherever they are around the world like a ‘Guardian Angel’, was formally inaugurated in Chandigarh recently.
With a team of experts and professionals ‘NRI Guardian’ offers myriad services to clients like Medical, Legal, Financial, Document, Property-Management, CA, and Concierge Services, etc.
The inauguration was done by Dr. SP Singh Oberoi, in the presence of Padma Bhushan S. Tarlochan Singh, Dr. Prabhleen Singh and Dr. CS Grewal.
Speaking at the function, company founder and Managing Director Parminder Singh Brar said: “NRI Guardian will provide the much-needed relief and succour to people who are either stranded or in distress for a various number of reasons with a holistic package of solutions”.
He added, “We have put together a dedicated team of well-qualified professionals, who have extensive experience in addressing such problems. Our team will at all times focus on providing proactive, reliable, and result-oriented solutions.”
Elaborating further, Brar explained: “NRI Guardian provides comprehensive solutions to the common challenges that Indian diaspora faces back home.
In his inaugural speech Dr. Oberoi said: “I am glad to know that NRI Guardian provides the best health care and medical services for the aging parents of NRIs, so that the children can focus on their career overseas”.
“Most of us who live abroad know how difficult and complex a task it is to handle health, property, finance and other essential works with limited resources from overseas. In this direction, NRI Guardian, which will be providing end-to-end hassle-free services to the customers on a foreign shore, is a boon for the entire Indian diaspora”, he added
Dr Surinder Pal Singh Oberoi is the Chairman of the Apex Group of Companies with offices in Burj Khalifa in Dubai. He is also Managing Trustee of Sarbat Da Bhala Charitable Trust in Patiala.
Shedding more light on the services that his company will provide, Parminder Brar said, “The most common problems that the Indian Diaspora faces are ‘Legal Issues’, which are cumbersome and time-consuming. The NRI Guardian’s experienced panel of lawyers delivers just the right kind of legal services that clients require at that time. The company provides assistance on all legal needs like civil and criminal litigation, revenue court cases, arbitration, crime against women, family litigation, documentation on behalf of clients, etc.”
On the problem of ‘gatecrashing’ or illegal possession, Brar said the company would provide the best ‘property management’ services to NRIs such as Property Rental Management and Vacating Inspection, Property Dispute, Transfer of Property, Property Monitoring, NCLT Matters, and Buying & Selling, etc.”
“For financial matters, lack of clarity on legal rights, dubious developers, financial discrimination and lack of professional advice are some of the challenges which make NRI investors reluctant to invest back in India. In this regard, the company provides the best financial advice at every step of the client’s investment needs like Activation of Dormant Bank Accounts, Attending to any IT Notice, Tax Authority Visit, Tax filling, Home Loan Transfer, etc”, Brar added.
The guest of honour S. Tarlochan Singh said, “I offer my best wishes to the entire team of NRI Guardian”.
Meanwhile, the case of a 25-year-old Ludhiana youth Manjeet Kumar, stranded in Dubai, came up for discussion on the sidelines of NRI Guardian’s inaugural function. He was recently reunited with his family. He arrived in Ludhiana following the intervention of deputy commissioner Varinder Kumar Sharma and philanthropist SP Singh Oberoi from Sarbat Da Bhala Trust.
The young man had paid ₹80,000 to a travel agent for a work visa, but was only provided a visitor’s visa with a promise that it would automatically convert to a work visa a month later, which of course never happened,.
Kumar said he landed in Dubai on February 26, and soon realised he had been duped. Somehow he managed to get hold of the mobile phone number of the deputy commissioner through contact and sent the official a distress message on May 13.
