Mere bachche meri dekhbhal nahi karte. Kya main unse kharcha maang sakta/sakti hoon?

Simple answer

Haan. Jo parents aur 60+ senior citizens apna kharcha nahi chala sakte, woh apne adult bachchon ya pote-potiyon se monthly maintenance maang sakte hain. Maintenance Tribunal (usually SDM office) mein application do; lawyer ki zaroorat nahi. Tribunal ₹10,000 mahina tak dila sakta hai. BNSS Section 144 mein bhi maang sakte ho.

Real-life examples

72 saal ke Ramesh ji Nagpur mein akele rehte hain. Unke dono bete achha kamaate hain par kuch nahi bhejte. Woh SDM office ke Tribunal mein dono beton ke against application dete hain aur decision tak interim maintenance maangte hain.

70 saal ki Mary ne is written condition par apna ghar bete ko gift kiya ki woh unki dekhbhal karega. Baad mein bete ne khaana aur dawaiyan dena band kar diya. Woh Section 23 ke under Tribunal se gift cancel karne ko keh sakti hain.

65 saal ke Gurdeep ji ke koi bachche nahi hain. Unke bhatije se, jo unki zameen ka waaris banega, maintenance maanga ja sakta hai.

  1. 1Abuse ho ya aapko chhod diya gaya ho, toh 112 call karo. Advice aur process mein help ke liye Elder Line 14567 call karo.
  2. 2Jis district mein aap ya aapke bachche rehte hain, wahan ke Maintenance Tribunal ko application likho. Har bachche ya relative ka naam aur apni monthly zarooratein likho.
  3. 3Age proof, apni income aur kharche, aur pata ho toh unki job ya property ki details lagao. Koi NGO ya aapka authorised person bhi aapki taraf se application de sakta hai.
  4. 4Interim maintenance maango. Tribunal ko notice ke 90 din mein decide karna chahiye, jo ek baar 30 din badh sakta hai.
  5. 5Agar aapne dekhbhal ki condition par property di thi aur unhone dekhbhal band kar di, toh Tribunal se transfer cancel karne ko kaho.
  6. 6Order se khush nahi? 60 din ke andar Appellate Tribunal (District Magistrate level) mein appeal karo.

Exceptions aur zaroori baatein

  • Aap is Act mein ya BNSS Section 144 mein maang sakte ho, lekin dono mein ek saath nahi.
  • Property gift cancel karane ke liye usually dikhana hota hai ki yeh dekhbhal ki condition par diya gaya tha. Courts gift deed aur facts dhyaan se dekhte hain.
  • Sirf wahi parents ya senior citizens maang sakte hain jo apni income ya property se kharcha nahi chala sakte, aur minor bachchon se nahi.
