1. It is valid in any part of the India if is a registered Will and you have to get authenticated translation by the approved translator either in the State of West Bengal or in the State of Maharashtra.

2. Usually whenever a case is filed in a Court and when a document enclosed/annexed to the plaint/petition,a translated copy must have been filed otherwise such petition/plaint will not be accepted by the concerned court.

3. You may search for approved translated and get it translated.

The judgement passed in a Probate case is considered as ' judgment in rem' which means its applicable against the whole world.

So forget the language in Will. Irrespective of language in the Will the same is binding in any part of the world.

The Will granted probate in West Bengal is valid through out the country.

You can get it translated through any court staff or a translator or by an advocate, get it notarised and produce it in Mumbai along with the copy of the original contents in Bengali.
