Dear Client,

If GPA with consideration and registered than payment will made to GPA holder. And minor spelling mistake in sale deed have no consequences,

Hello,

I would advise you to involve the original seller also, so that it is confirmed also that the person has been authorized willingly.

He will get the name rectified before selling it. 

A deed of rectification must be executed to rectify mistake in owners name. Involve the original owner and make payment of sale proceeds in original seller name. Through an order in 2011, the Supreme Court (SC) held that transferring property title through GPA is not valid

In case of changing the name of the Vendor or any other rectifications/correction in the same deed, you will have to approach the Sub-Registrar before which the Sale Deed was initially registered as the same is a document in possession of a government authority, therefore, the change ought to reflect there in the first place.
One can either file a supplementary Sale Deed or an addendum to the said Sale Deed with the original Sub-Registrar in order to rectify the said error.

Understand that Seller name was misspelt in GPA, in that case they have to get it corrected in GPA registered office. 

You have to file a civil suit in this regard in the Civil Court and get order of the court to rectify the regards as soon as you get the records you have to approach to the register to issue a corrected cocy as per order of the court

The GPA holder has to execute a rectification deed with the previous owner

Or the previous seller and your seller himself can execute rectification deed

Check the GPA if it has a power to accept payment on behalf of seller ie a power to sell and receive sale consideration. Also such a GPA has to be registered document 

If the GPA does not contain above power and the GPA is not registered then it will be safe to pay the money to seller only and not to the GPA holder

1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you are going to purchase a property by way of GPA, but name of the seller is misspelled.
2. I suggest you to rectify the GPA and get the same registered again with correction in the name of the actual seller.
3. But, let me tell you that transfer of property via GPA has been upto certain extent has been declared as invalid in he eyes of law. Though there are some exception as it can be used in favour of a close relative of the actual owner.
4. So, just go with a small inquery with respect to the relation of the person in whose favour GPA has been registered.

1. The seller's name has to be first corrected in his sale deed. To which end he has to make a rectification deed with his seller.

2. The sale proceeds are to be paid to the owner of the property. Even if there is a clause in the GPA which says that it can be paid to the agent it should still be paid to the owner. The DD/Cheque has to be drawn in favour of owner and handed over to him unless he is out of India.

The name should be as per the PAN card. No then wife cannot be second seller if she has no right in the property.

Your name should appear in sale deed as per your PAN and aaadhar card 

2) your wife name can be added in sale deed 

Dear Sir,

You may take rectification deed in respect of mis-spelt name of the vendor in the sale deed. It is better to take new sale deed in your name as per PAN details. You can add the name of your wife as joint purchaser if she has PAN card.

You must be aware that from 2011 the Supreme Court banned GPA transactions as per following judgment. You may insist for execution of sale deed by the original owner and his family members.

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.

Govt tightens power of attorney rules

CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu registration department has tightened the noose around realtors using power of attorney (POA) for fraudulent land deals. Power of attorney authorizes a person to carry out transactions or act legally on behalf of another.
Under the new rules, a power of attorney holder seeking to carry out a land transaction will have to provide documentary evidence to the sub-registrar to prove that the principal, the person who issued the power of attorney, is alive. The principal has to obtain 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.

As per a recent order of the inspector general of registration, the new rules are applicable to all POAs registered from February 4. By law, POA is not valid once the principal dies. Section 34 of Tamil Nadu Registration Act says it is the duty of the sub-registrar to ascertain whether the POA holder has the right to execute a transaction on behalf of the principal. But sub-registrars register property documents without bothering to verify whether the principals were alive.
"In Tamil Nadu, where a large number of land transactions are carried out on the basis of POAs to circumvent payment of stamp duty and registration fees. Many instances have been reported of POA holders selling land after the death of the principal. Buyers get into trouble when legal heirs of the principal claim rights over the property. Such cases end up in protracted legal battles and ultimately the sale deeds are declared invalid," said a senior official.
There have been instances of people impersonating land owners and executing fraudulent POAs. In one case, land worth 9 crore on Venkatnarayana Road was sold to a business group based on a POA, reportedly executed by the land owner in 2008. Legal heirs of the land owner subsequently filed a case of forgery against the business group, brokers and others involved in the deal as the owner had died 28 years earlier. When police refused to take prompt action, the owners moved the court.

As per law, the principal also has the right to rescind a POA. "If there is a mention of a consideration (amount) in the POA, the holder can claim that money through legal means. But he cannot claim rights over the property once the POA is rescinded or the principal dies," said the official.

In 2010-11, more than 3.75 lakh POAs were registered across Tamil Nadu for property-related transactions. The number came down to 1.8 lakh last year. It is going up again this year, said the official.

You need to execute a rectification deed with the same to correct it. It depends on POA and its clauses.mostly the Payment is made to owner
