My father and I bought a flat together for ₹25 lakhs. He paid ₹20 lakhs and I paid ₹5 lakhs. Now he’s asking for money or the entire flat. Can he legally do this?

In India, a property purchased jointly is owned equally by both parties unless a specific agreement states otherwise. Since your father paid a larger share, he might be able to claim a higher share in the flat’s value, but he can’t legally claim the entire flat without a valid agreement.
