In a recent article published by LiveMint, Smita Paliwal has shed light on an important aspect of succession rights concerning Non-Resident Indians (NRIs). According to Paliwal, if both parties in a marriage are Hindus, the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, along with its 2005 amendment, continues to apply, regardless of the countries they reside in. This means that Hindu inheritance laws are still relevant for determining property rights and succession issues for NRIs involved in cross-border marriages.

This revelation underscores the importance of understanding Indian inheritance laws for NRIs to ensure their rights and properties are adequately protected.
