AYour Aadhaar address should match the current address you mention in your passport application – in your case, Guwahati. Otherwise, the application might get put on hold.
You can still apply from Nagaland if you haven’t made the payment yet, but then you’ll have to travel there few times for document submission, police verification, and collecting the passport.
Applying from your hometown usually means faster verification. In Guwahati, the process may take a bit longer. So it really depends on what matters more to you – if you want the passport quickly, applying from your hometown is better. But if you’d rather avoid multiple trips and prefer convenience, then Guwahati works fine too.
ANo worries but if they’re already habitual bank defaulters dealing with recovery agents regularly, then yeah, they’re probably thick skinned when it comes to civil recovery pressure. That’s why the intimidation/harassment complaint may actually get a more immediate response than just chasing the money alone but in parallel do put the pressure on the money recovery as well.ANAL. Honestly, the threats/abuse part being a criminal offence is probably easier to act on than proving an 18 year informal family loan (civil matter) with no paperwork. If you have CCTV footage, file a police complaint for intimidation/harassment and separately send a legal notice for the money recovery.AWhat specific legal advice are you actually seeking? It’s unclear from both your post and your comment.This isn’t about moral opinion it’s about factual accuracy. Many Sikhs use only ‘Singh’ and ‘Kaur’ without facing the issues you’ve mentioned. As someone well-versed in Sikh history, I can confidently say that those who continue to use caste-based surnames are not following the core principles of Sikhism. You don’t need a certificate from anyone to be Sikh, but it’s important to acknowledge that rejecting the caste system is a foundational reason Sikhism emerged as a distinct religion and what you’re suggesting goes against the very principles of Sikhism.
So again, what is the legal advice you’re seeking?
AWhat is the legal advice you’re seeking?Btw in Sikhism, using ‘Singh’ for men and ‘Kaur’ for women is essential, as it symbolizes equality and the rejection of the caste system. Anyone who still believes in caste or continues to use caste-based surnames is going against the fundamental teachings of Sikhism and cannot be considered a Sikh.
ANo worries bud, and all the best – I can understand the frustration, been through a similar journey myself, but have faith in the judiciary.ASince the Taksim (division) was done through proper legal procedures and documents, it is valid and binding. Once registered or notarised, it carries full legal weight. Courts respect finalised, lawful agreements unless there is proof of fraud, forgery, coercion, or major procedural mistakes. Just because someone files a case doesn’t mean the Taksim becomes void. Filing a court case is easy winning it is very hard, especially when the documents are strong. Saying “we know how to get the land” is just emotional blackmail. Keep all these harassment and blackmailing documented and record your conversation, speak to a lawyer and prepare your case upfront.ANAL – You first need to confirm if the land division (Taksim) is officially documented? If the division was signed, registered with authorities, or notarised, it is legally binding. If it was only an informal agreement (like verbal or a family meeting without documents), it’s weaker, but still strong if witnesses were present. The father-in-law has no legal standing. He is an outsider. Only the heirs (you and your cousin) can make legal claims. The father-in-law cannot dictate which land the cousin gets. If they want to challenge, they must go to court. No private threats, calls, or complaints to you change anything. Document every harassment attempt (screenshots, call logs, messages), you can send a legal warning notice through a lawyer for harassment once you have enough evidence. Don’t argue with them, only respond in writing, very formally and briefly if needed. Stay calm and firm. Acting emotional or defensive will only make the greedy parties think they can pressure you more. If it gets serious, you can file a police complaint for harassment or intimidation via a lawyer.ANAL – You first need to confirm if the land division (Taksim) is officially documented?

Do NOT sell or part out the vehicle. Send a legal notice to the seller as you made payments in good faith. Then file a consumer complaint or civil suit for recovery if he doesn’t refund the amount or legally get the vehicle transferred to your name. Consult a local lawyer once preferably one experienced in vehicle disputes and consumer protection. Keep every proof (bank transfers, messages, call logs).ANo worries mate, and it’s good you are starting to strategise at this age. I personally have decided not to get married considering our laws and how the society has changed over the years. I know it’s not a decision for everyone, but all my mates are opting for the same and we are all very happy with our life choices (so far) and even families are understanding.
