1. Yes. POA is generally executed and registered in the office of the sub-registrar within whose jurisdiction the person giving the power resides at the time of execution of the document.

2. Seek help from a local lawyer at Pune

3. Generally GPOA would do but a SPOA is better.

there is no bar on execution of power of attorney in favour of relative to sell your land

If on account of old age uncle is unable to go to MP he can execute POA for sale of his property

The POA in Maharashtra has to be on stamp paper of Rs 500

Same stamp duty will be charge as is leviable on a Conveyance under Article 25 Clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the Maharashtra Stamp Act, 1958, as the case may be on the market value of the Property.

It needs to be registered with stamp duty leviable on market value of land.

POA on Rs. 500/- stamp is valid only if it authorises a close relative to sell or transfer immovable property without consideration or without showing any consideration, as the case may be.

No, POA is to be ececuted at a place where the land is situate though in pune he can execute a General poa.

GPoa will be the best option as it can be registered in Pune and that too on a Rs. 100 stamp paper.

The property cannot be sold if it was purchased by an unregistered sale deed.

The property should have been purchased by execution of Registered sale deed.
