1. I am not sure what do you mean by 'benamai". please inform the name of the persons appearing in the sale deed. If you and your name is appearing in the sale deed then there is nothing to worry.

2.Sale on behalf of POA is valid if the POA holder is close relative of the owner or POA holder is a builder and he has made a registered deed of development for the project.

3. If case of removal is made in your dale deed then you can file consumer forum case to get the things done.

4. Yes, you can seek damages and compensation for this.

1. Why has it been written as benami when you paid the sale consideration? It seems that you did not involve a lawyer in the process of execution of sale agreement and also the sale deed.

2. A sale can surely be made through a GPA but the GPA has to be mandatorily registered.

3. If the builder does not honour his promise then sue him in the consumer forum for damages.

1. If you are a rightful purchaser and a registered sale deed was executed on your name by the vendor properly then there is no question of benami property.

You should ask the vendor that why it has been mentioned as benami while purchased the property by passing the sale consideration amount from your side.

There is no reason for declaring the property as benami when you have purchased it.

2. The POA agent has sold the property on behalf of the vendor is legally valid but the POA deed should have been a registered deed.

3. You send a legal notice to the vendor to clear this obstruction immediately or cancel the booking

4. It depends on the circumstances and hardships convinced by you.
