Hi, if the registrar office are not accepting power of attorney , you have to be present for the gift deed in person before the registrar office ...

Please note that you need to.execute a relinquishment deed or gift deed in favour of your sister and you need to be present at the time of registration since it should be.registered gift or relinquishment deed. Secondly you may have to be personally present since some states do have digital registration process which requires the person donating to be present at time of registration.

Sir first of all the registration office cannot.deny a proper POA of attorney, the section 32 of the registration act provides that deed of transfer can be registered through Power of attorney.

Further send a notarized POA in Canada further stamped on embassy by consulate the relative in who's name you are sending it shall get stamped from SDM office and then.can make a deed. Further Under the new rules, a POA holder seeking to carry out a land transaction will have to give documentary evidence to the Sub-registrar to prove that the Principal, the person who issued the POA is alive. The Principal has to get a “live” certificate with his photograph affixed to it from a Registered Medical Practitioner or a Gazetted Officer. These certificates are valid for 30 days only.

Further a relinquishment deed can be made in favour of the sister. You can relinquish your share .

Further you can ask in written if they deny to accept proper POA in that case your presence is required.

Also you will remain the owner of property even if.you get Canadian citizenship it won't effect your property rights.

Registered power of attorney in favour of family member is valid

2) if You have registered POA your nephew can execute gift deed in favour of your sister

3) it is suprising that registrar is refusing to accept registered POA in favour of family member

4) it is better you come down to India and execute registered gift deed in favour of your sister

5) you can continue to retain property in your name even after acquiring Canadian citizenship

1. You have to execute a gift deed in favour of your sister.

2. In case of Muslims the gift deed i.e hibanama does not require mandatory registration. A gift of immovable property made by a Muslim is valid even if it is not registered under the Transfer of Property Act or the Stamps and Registration Act.

3. There are three essential conditions of a gift under Mohammadan Law (i) declaration of the gift by the donor (ii) acceptance of the gift by the donee and iii) delivery of possession. No particular mode of delivery of possession has been prescribed.

4. Better transfer the property before you acquire Canadian citizenship.

Firstly, though you would only consult a local lawyer, but still I may want to guide with regard to the same.

Secondly, yes it is true now, after the latest Supreme Court judgments POA would not be entertained for transfer of any immovable property subject to a condition of the same has been executed in the favour of very close relative means father, mother, son, wife, brother etc. then may be entertained.

Thirdly, in your case, registrar is tight for not considering the same as it is in the favour of your nephew.

Fourhtly, you may have to come to the place and get it executed, and there is no problem with the Canadian citizen ship.

Good Luck...!

This is my response to you:

1. You can execute a relinquishment deed in regard to your share;

2. Once the relinquishment deed is executed you will need to register it;

3. You will need to be present for one day at the registrar's office;

4. Once it is done then you will not be required to appear again and again;

5. You can search for a lawyer of tamil nadu from this link: https://www.kaanoon.com/lawyers/India

As you have given POA, the registrar should have assigned a reason for rejection. If not, send a representation to IG, Registration. Thereafter, get a direction from the court to get the property registered through POA.

Dear Client,

Authorities can not deny Power of Attorney. It is legal document. I doubt there must be legal mistakes in the power of Attorney.

You can execute a power of attorney deed from Canada also, get it notarised and send it to the power agent to his place of residence, he shall subsequently produce the deed before th jurisdiction registrar's office and get the same registered on his name.

After the POA Deed is registered, he can sell the property to your sister on your behalf.

The registrar cannot refuse to register the property through a power agent having a registered power of attorney deed.

1. POA executed in favour of close/blood relative by the person who ordinarily is unable to appear before the Registrar to register a deed of conveyance is valid and the said Registrar should have accepted the POA executed by you in favour oif your nephew.

2. Sale by non related persons (brokers) through POA has been made invalid by the Supreme court vide its Order in the year 2012 in case of Surya Electrics.................Vs........... The State of Haryana. the said Judsgment is not applicable in your case.

3. However, you can get a gift deed (in case of sale deed, you shall have to show receipt of consideration and pay higher stamp duty) sent by your lawyer in India printed on Rs. 100/- stamp paper and then take it to your local Indian Consulate at Canada for getting it registered before the appropriate officer of the said Indian Consulate.

4. The consulate will inform you the amount of stamp duty you shall have to pay along with registration fee which you shall have to pay and for registering the gift deed in favour of your blood relation (sister), the stamp duty will be minimal.

5. The appropriate officer of the Indian Consulate might refuse to register the gift deed to avoid his responsibility and in that case you shall have to pursue over the fact that it is as per the Act that he shall have to register the Gift Deed being the appropriate officer of Indian Consulate which acts as the extended part of the country called India.

6. Even if you get Canadian Citizenship, you shall be the OCI (Overseas Citizen of India) card holder and shall be eligible to inherit and deal with properties including registering gift deed.
