• Yes, both of you can execute a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) in favor of your brother.
• The SPA must be notarized and apostilled (or attested by the Indian Embassy) in your country of residence.

Best Approach:

• Instead of transferring ownership, execute a SPA in your brother’s favor and proceed with the sale jointly.
• Your wife’s physical Aadhaar is not mandatory, but the buyer may ask for it for KYC. Ensure she has a valid PAN linked to a bank account for transaction purposes.

Yes, you can sell your jointly owned property in Bangalore through proper legal channels without physically coming to India. Here’s how:

1. Transfer of Wife’s Share to You:
   Your wife can transfer her share in the property to you through a Gift Deed or Release Deed in your favour. However, this deed must be executed on Indian stamp paper, duly registered at the Sub-Registrar’s office in Bangalore, and attract applicable stamp duty.

2. Power of Attorney to Brother:
   You and your wife can execute a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) in favour of your brother, authorising him to sell the property on your behalf. Since you are outside India, the SPA must be notarised and attested by the Indian Consulate/Embassy in your country of residence. Once attested, it must be sent to India and adjudicated(validated) at the local Sub-Registrar’s office in Bangalore.

3. PAN and Aadhaar Requirement:
   Your wife’s PAN number is sufficient for tax purposes, but at the time of registration, the buyer may require Aadhaar details. While Aadhaar is generally mandatory for property transactions, alternative KYC documents like a passport or voter ID may be acceptable. It is advisable to consult with the Sub-Registrar’s office in Bangalore regarding the exact requirements.

4. TDS and Capital Gains Tax Compliance:
   If the sale price exceeds ₹50 lakh, the buyer must deduct 1% TDS under Section 194IA of the Income Tax Act. Additionally, capital gains tax implications must be considered, and exemptions under Sections 54 or 54EC may be available if reinvestment is made in eligible assets.

Next Steps:

• Consult a local property lawyer in Bangalore to draft the necessary documents.
• If proceeding with a Power of Attorney, execute and attest it at the Indian Consulate and send it for adjudication in Bangalore.
• Verify with the buyer and local authorities regarding alternative KYC options if Aadhaar is unavailable.
