Punjab State Commission for Non- resident Indians Act, 2011
The Punjab State Commission for Non- residents Indians Act,2011 received the assent of the Governor of Punjab on the 21st November 2011. That with the need to address the concerns of NRI’s in Punjab, the Government decided to set up a Commission executively for the matters pertaining to NRIs.
The NRI Commission has vast powers under the Act to investigate any matter under the abovementioned Act. The Commission has all the powers of a Civil court trying a suit and in particular, in respect of the following matters.
That no statement made by a person in the course of giving evidence before the Commission shall be used against him in any civil or criminal proceedings, except for prosecuting him for giving false evidence.
Further, it would be relevant to mention that whoever being legally bound to obey any order of the Commission under section 12 or the order of any officer or investigation agency referred to in section 14, intentionally omits to do so or furnishes false information, shall, on conviction, be punished under section 174,175,176,177,178,179, and 180 of the Indian Penal Code, as the case maybe.
Navkiran Singh and Associates have come across several of NRI clients who were unknown to the concept of the NRI Commission and what its powers entailed.
