A power of attorney holder can only do he is instructed to do.if the PoA holder sells the land to a person to whom you want to sell, the sale deed will contain your name as you are the owner of the property.

It will also contain his name as the PoA holder and signing on your behalf.


I may remind you that the supreme court has deprecated transactions wherein people give PoA so that stamp duty etc.can be avoided.

Development agreements can be made by a person with a builder.

GPA transactions are not transactions or sales as per the supreme court.

You are the owner of the property hence your name will remain as seller in the sale deed but the sale deed would be executed by the POA agent on your behalf. 

The builder will be a power agent to the seller.

Hello, 

  1. As the seller and owner of the property, your name will be entered as Seller in the Sale Deed. It would mention the builder as the PoA through whom the transaction is done. 
  2. There will be only a single Sale Deed. The PoA is only your agent and the Agreement is between you and the purchaser.

Hi

1) Vide Section 54 of transfer of property act, and also Indian contracts act, it is mandatory that the  Your name will have to be mandatorily  entered in the sale deed as Owner and your power of attorney holder name will be entered as your Agent. . So under heading vendor, your name and your power of attorney holder name will be mentioned.

2) The sale deed will be signed on your behalf by your POA agent (so technically execution of sale deed will be complete, once your POA agent affixes his signature as your agent at the time of registration of sale deed).

3) Kindly ensure that the POA granted by you to the builder is duly registered at Registrar office as unregistered power of attorney is not valid and cannot be used by your POA agent for entering in to sale deed on your behalf. 

Hope this information is useful.

1.      That is not POA that is Special Power of Attorney. The attorney is at liberty to sell the property bit by bit. He can only sell the property for which  measurement and boundaries are given if the principal/giver of SPA wants to get different pieces of properties he has to give different SPAs covering each part of property.

2.      Name of principal name will be mentioned as seller and name of attorney will be mentioned as SPA.

Ok I get it

The builder is probably trying to make a quick buck from this transaction without being liable to pay any capital gains tax

If builder pays you and thereafter using your POA sells the property to another buyer then it means that the consideration paid by buyer to builder will be greater than what the builder paid to you and in this way the builder will not have to pay any capital gains tax

So whatever money is paid to the builder will be taken as consideration paid to you since you are the principal 

So for eg. Builder pays you 100 

Then he sells the property for 120

20 is the builder's profit 

However for purpose of capital gains tax, the sale price will be considered as 120 and not 100

So you end up paying more capital gains tax 

Find this transaction entirely dicey and suspicious 

There is something more than meets the eye

You may have to decide whether to sell the property through a power of attorney holder or to sell it directly.

If you are desirous of selling the property through a power of attorney agent, then you may have to make a clause in the POA deed stating that the sale consideration amount to be credited to your bank account directly by the buyer and should not be paid in the name of the POA holder. 

This will enable you to get the sale consideration amount directly from the buyer to your account.

Dear Sir,

If sale is registered as a gift deed then the payer and buyer will be different. 

There will not be any problem while registering the sale deed as a gift.

There is no requirement for buyer or payer to be same.

Yes you can add clauses into POA as it is fit as per your requirement.

Thank you
