Dear client,  

If you have sent money to India and have transaction receipts as proof of the transfer, you may be able to initiate legal action to recover your money. However, the legal process can be complex and costly, and it is advisable to consult with a lawyer to explore your options.

You can start by sending a demand letter or notice to the family member, stating your claim and requesting repayment of the money. If they fail to respond or refuse to repay, you may consider filing a lawsuit in India.

To initiate legal proceedings in India, you may need to hire a lawyer who can file a civil suit on your behalf. The cost of hiring a lawyer may vary depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer's experience and fees. You may also need to pay court fees and other expenses related to the legal proceedings.

It may not be necessary for you to travel to India to pursue legal action. Your lawyer can represent you in court and handle the legal proceedings on your behalf.

However, it is important to note that the outcome of a legal case can be unpredictable, and there is no guarantee that you will be able to recover your money. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider the costs and potential risks before pursuing legal action.
