1. Do not transfer a single farthing to anyone except the vendor who are signing the deed.

2. Since the deed is executed and registered by A and B only and not through their GPA holder M , there is no question of sending any money to anyone else.

3. The TDS would be deducted from the account of the vendor- A and B and no one else.

4. Again no question TDS deduction from account of M or anyone else.

5. If A and B has given fresh registered GPA to M and M alone is signing the deed on behalf of A and B then only the question of payment to M arises.

6. Make payment to M only if she is given a registered GPA . Otherwise pay to A and B if they only sign in the deed.

Property stands registered in the names of both Mr A and Mrs A, who have purchased it through a notarized stamp paper executed in favour of Mr A Mother. The katha in respect of the said property stands in the name of both owners Mr and Mrs A.

Now you intend to purchase it from the joint owners Mr and Mrs A, however both the sellers want you to pay the sale consideration amount in favour of Mr A Mother, Mrs M for reasons best known to them. This arrangement can be spelt out in the sale deed with the consent of both sellers, which would make it valid and legal.

Now for all practical purposes since Mr and Mrs A are the joint owners, the TDS must be deducted into the PAN No's of both the sellers and not into the account of Mrs M. The sale consideration being paid to Mrs M should be minus the TDS amounts only.

Any other option would create problems and the I T Dept might come calling on you very soon.

1. The sale consideration amount can be paid to the vendor only and not to a third person.

2. Against vendor.

3. You cannot deduct tax at source against GPA who is a third person in this transaction.

4. In that cthe GPA should execute the registered sale deed on behalf of the principal.

5. You take a legal opinion from a local lawyer for all such further issues.

1) insist that payment would be made by you only in name of Mr and Mrs A

2)TDS should be deducted from sale consideration paid to both co owners

3) Insist on registered GPA with clause to receive sale proceeds . then only make payment directly to GPA holder

Hi

You can buy the property using the following procedure.

1) The registered Sale deed should be executed by Mr.A, Mrs. A in your favour as sellers.

2) You should mandatorily include Mrs.M as "Consenting Party" to the aforementioned registered sale deed.

3) So all in all there will be four signatories in the sale deed

a) Mr.A,Mrs.A, Mrs.M(as consenting party) and yourself.

4) You can always include a clause in consideration part of sale deed stating that at the specific request of Mr.A and Mrs.A, the sale consideration is being paid to the Mrs.M.

6) TDS should be borne in name of Mr.A and Mrs. A Only as they are the sellers.

7) A new GPA is not required if you follow the aforementioned procedure.

8) Stamp papers for sale deed should be purchased in the name of Mr.A and Mrs.A only.

Hope this information is useful.

Dear Client,

In whose name property actually was ? Who given POA to Mrs. M.

1. Can this transaction be done and sale amount be given to the GPA holder? ---- Clearly mention in the sale deed that on the instance of seller, money debited in GPA. account. no issues.

2. In whose name should I do the 1% TDS of the sale amount? --- Seller Mr.A and Mrs.A.

3. The Sale Deed has Mr.A and Mrs.A's, PAN number. If I do the TDS in the name of GPA holder will it not be a Income Tax issue later on? - -- Yes.

4. GPA holder can have a new registered GPA with new clause to receive the proceeds. Can we buy the property based on this? ---- She has already sold the property through registered sale deed, she has no title in the property, No purpose or validity of fresh POA of Mrs M.

5. if none of the above options works, What other option do I have to buy this property? ----- Mention clearly in sale deed that on the basis of notorised POA, property sold to Mr and Mrs. A . and make her witnesses and the person in whose name property was before sale to Mrs.Mr. A.

The said GPA being not registered is bad in law and not valid. In a latest judgement supreme court termed sale of property through POA illegal. Yes income tax issues will definitely occur.

Dear Sir,

My answers are as follows:

1. Can this transaction be done and sale amount be given to the GPA holder?

Ans: Yes, taking into consideration the relationship between A and Mrs. A. It is better to get sale deed get executed by both the persons instead of one of them being consenting witness. Secondly in the sale deed a recital may be stated that entire amount is paid to GPA holder as per the instructions of co-seller.

2. In whose name should I do the 1% TDS of the sale amount?

Ans: It is better to pay TDS in joint names of both the vendors.

3. The Sale Deed has Mr.A and Mrs.A's, PAN number. If I do the TDS in the name of GPA holder will it not be a Income Tax issue later on?

Ans: Since GPA sales are not valid as per Supreme Court judgment so treat this transaction as joint transaction by the both vendors and take PAN numbers of both the persons.

4. GPA holder can have a new registered GPA with new clause to receive the proceeds. Can we buy the property based on this?

Ans: No, because such sale is invalid.

5. if none of the above options works, What other option do I have to buy this property? Please advise

Ans: The above method is appropriate. Please see the following judgment of Supreme Court on the issue of GPA sales.

========================================================================================

No property sale on power of attorney: Supreme Court

Property sales through the common practice of general power of attorney (GPA) will not give ownership title to the buyer.

In a landmark judgment that is expected to send a large number of property owners into a tizzy, the Supreme Court held that the GPA method of immovableproperty sales is not a valid form of transfer of property.

A three-judge bench presided over by Justice R. V. Raveendran said that property can be lawfully transferred only through registered sale deeds.

"A power of attorney is not an instrument of transfer in regard to any right, title or interest in an immovable property," the bench said, after interpreting various provisions of the law concerning property sales. However, the bench said the judgment will not affect "genuine transactions" under the GPA.

The judgment delivered on Wednesday would have an impact on both freehold and leasehold properties and affect the mode of transfer of property in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) where GPA sales are very common. Even though it can cause some hardship to those who have already purchased property through the GPA, the order will help curb evasion of duties, flow of black money into real estate and also save people from being cheated by unscrupulous owners selling the same property to several people.

Section 53A in The Transfer of Property Act, 1882

1[53A.

1. Yes it should be specifically mentioned in deed.

2.In your name of mr. A AND mrs. a as your giving it as part of your consideration.

3. See they are directing the purchaser to clear there dues so TDs paid should be in there name as they gaining and they are seller just proceeds go to GPA holder to clear dues.they hold valid title to property.

4 The property is already purchased by you and so new GPA won't have relevance.

5. This is best option kindly purchase property make TDs payment on name of Mr. And mrs. A AMD MENTION SPECIFICALLY THAT ON INSTANCE AND REQUEST OF MR AMD MRS A THE CONSIDERATION IS PAID TO GPA HOLDER.

1. In case the GPA is not registered I would not advise you to do the transaction.

2. That goes to the seller and not to the GPA holder.

3. Do not go into the TDS aspect, such aspect of purchasing the land in itself is not good in the eyes of law and therefore do not purchase the property as per this arrangement.
