Under Indian law, converting to Buddhism from Christianity does not automatically grant Scheduled Caste status. You would need to prove your ancestral connection to a Scheduled Caste community and fulfill the criteria specified by the relevant government authority for inclusion in the Scheduled Caste list.

I’m from Chennai and my brother-in-law passed away two weeks ago. We’re currently working on getting the legal heir certificate. My brother-in-law and his wife owned a flat together, and he had an LIC policy and a life insurance benefit from his company. His parents have kindly said they don’t want any share of these assets. Should I obtain separate NOCs for the flat, LIC policy, and insurance amount?

My family has been part of a housing co-operative society in West Bengal since 1990. The society registered a flat in my name in 1999. In May 2013, I gifted the flat to my wife through a registered deed without seeking prior permission from the society. I then resigned from the society, and my wife applied for membership, submitting a copy of the gift deed. The society received both applications in June 2013. However, a year later, in June 2014, they rejected the transfer, stating I should have gotten their permission beforehand. They cited a rule prohibiting transfers without the Registrar’s approval. Is the gift deed valid, and can my wife become a member of the society?
