Any documents notarised in abroad requires to be adjudicated/stamped in India as well if the document to be enforced is compulsorily registrable instrument in India.

If on the basis of POA any immovable property is to be sold then notarised POA is to be adjudicated in India at all costs.

It has to be executed before authority in Bombay then registration shall take place. Registration is not required just authentication from the collector/SDM is required.

Two copies of the POA document will be required by the consular officer.

POA document must be signed before the embassy officer at the time of attestation.

All POA's issued in foreign countries, due to the NRI being resident outside India have to be adjudicated to make it a legally accepted document for any property transaction in India.

If he is NRI and the same is executed outside India then you need to attest it at high commission or embassy. If it is executed in India then notarisation and registration

1. The POA needs to be adjudicated in the jurisdictional District Registrar's Office in Mumbai, where the property is located.

2.  To be legally valid, the POA has to be adjudicated in the place where the property is located.

3.  Notarised POA is not recommended in the instant case.

1.  POA  "MUST" be stamped for 500/- in India (after attestation) and no need to notarize or whatever in India, PROVIDED the same is duly attested by the Embassy /Consulate.  This is legally sufficient for all immovable properties in India.

Since POA is missing holder signature/acceptance, it`s incomplete. Get his signature on it and re registered in India at sub registrar office to avoid any manipulation in future.

1. The POA executed before the Indian Consulate should bear the signature of the POA holder also.

 

2. Thereafter the said POA shall have to be sent to the POA holder by post/courier service at his address.

 

3. Thereafter tyhe said  POA shall have to be adjudicated by the local Collector in India by affixing his seal and before affixing his seal, the office of the Controller might ask the envelope through which the overseas POA has been sent to the holder to be presented before the Collector to draw his satisfaction about the genuineness of the matter.

 

4. Thereafter the said POA becomes a valid instrument to deal with the concerned property.

You have to get the POA registered in Mumbai for execution of release deed and it is compulsory to register the POA.
