You will have to get the GPA attested by the Indian embassy or consulate in that country.

Any Notary in USA can also attest it for you. You don't need witnesses for attestation purposes

The Grantor i. e. you should sign the GPA on all

the pages and can send it over to your father.

Finally your father should get it registered from the local Sub-Registrar office or Sub-Divisional Magistrate office in India, by paying the appropriate registration charges applicable in that State, in presence of 2 witnesses.

Any any doubts, feel free to contact.

Regards.

It is necessary to have GPA attested by Indian consulate to enable your father to appear on your behalf in MCD

Mere notarised GOA is not sufficient

Not necessary to get the POA attested at the Indian Consulate; but it is always better to do so.

The other option for you is to get the POA authenticated by a notary public in US.

In India, presence of witnesses before the public notary is often not compelled. You will have to find out the US practise by inquiring locally.

1. India and US have a bilateral treaty where the courts of both countries accept the notary done by the notary public of each country

2. despite that many times it is insisted that instead of signing before notary public, the document be signed before the Indian consulate/embassy in the foreign country

3. so signing before the notary public would be fine. But the opponent may raise stupid objections against the GPA being signed before the notary there and not before the Indian consulate and say that such GPA is not valid

4. so in order to avoid any such objection it is advisable that you sign the GPA before the nearest Indian consulate/embassy

5. witnesses are not compulsory. If you have them, then good. Otherwise for GPA only grantor has to sign before the concerned officer

If it is for matrimonial proceedings power of attorney is not admissible in matrimonial proceedings so you need to be personally present to represent your case as your signature is needed. And there are plethora of rulings where court have held power of attorney cannot be allowed in matrimonial cases.

1) You can create GPA attested at the Indian Consulate by the consular officer that will be great.
