You generally cannot withdraw money from your daughter’s account if it is treated as her funds, especially if she is a major. If she is a minor, withdrawals must be for her benefit and may require consent of the guardian. However, if you deposited the amount only for safekeeping or a specific purpose (not as a gift), you may have legal grounds to claim it back, subject to proof. This depends on facts and documents. Please call me to discuss in detail and take proper legal steps.

You can approach family court of concerned jurisdiction seeking for a mandatory injunction directing daughter to transfer the said amount to your bank account and also for other appropriate remedies. You can also file complaints before the police station also

If the transfer can be treated as a loan then the father can demand repayment and initiate recovery proceedings with proof. He can also claim maintenance from his daughter under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act 2007 especially if neglected and left without means. If it was a gift and it is legally accepted nothing can be done. For more details you may contact me.

I understand your difficult financial situation, and the facts you have stated raise important legal issues. If the amount of ₹28 lakhs was deposited in your daughter’s account from the sale of your property, the key question is whether it was intended as a gift or only kept there for safe custody. If it was not a voluntary gift, you may have a legal right to recover the amount. Further, your wife and daughter refusing to return or permit withdrawal of the money can be examined legally, especially if you are now left without means for your livelihood. Appropriate legal remedies may include issuing a formal notice, initiating recovery proceedings, or seeking relief before the competent court depending on the nature of the transaction and available evidence. However, these matters require careful evaluation of documents such as sale deeds, bank records, and proof of intention at the time of deposit. A proper legal strategy can be formulated only after a detailed consultation. I would strongly advise you to meet me in person with all relevant documents so that I can assess your case thoroughly and guide you with the most effective legal course of action.

if you are able to prove that the money deposited in the bank account of your daughter is the sale consideration of the property owned by you you can claim it back. since it is a civil matter if they are not ready to give it back you can file a civil suit.
