One of the most common solutions is to apply Weather Proof Paints or Polishes.

#land#mumbai#registered#transferred#property
We have a land in Mumbai which was registered on my grandmother's name. She passed away in 2007 and we transferred this property to our names even though she had two sons. My uncle has been staying in this property for 8 years now. He paid taxes for 7 years with the view that the property is transferred to the tax payer's son's name. Is this possible? Also, what can be done if this is true?

#pio#immovable#property#rbi#permission
A PIO acquired immovable property in 1983 under FERA section 31 with RBI approval. RBI issued a notification (FERA 152/93-RB 26.05.1993) granting general permission with certain conditions. Over a period, foreign exchange regulations changed. Also, section 31 is no longer in existence. Therefore, can a PIO dispose by way of sale of a residential flat(acquired in 83) to a resident Indian without obtaining special approval of RBI as required by Section 31?

If the Power of Attorney is registered, then you can apply for a certified copy of the same from the Sub-registrar of Assurances and can also make a offical police complaint to record the loss of the original POA.
