As a Canadian citizen with an OCI card, you can execute a General Power of Attorney (GPA) in favour of your uncle in India for managing your inherited property, and this can be done either from Canada or during a visit to India.

If you wish to execute the GPA from Canada, the process is as follows:

• Draft the GPA detailing the powers you wish to grant (sale, management, litigation, etc.)—preferably with a legal expert’s help.

• Sign the GPA before the nearest Indian Consulate/High Commission; your signature will be attested by the consular officer.

• After attestation, courier the original document to your uncle in India.

• Your uncle must then have the document adjudicated and stamped as per the Indian state’s stamp laws (usually before the district registrar/sub-registrar), after verifying the signature and attestation.

If you are able to visit India:

• You can execute and register the GPA directly before the local sub-registrar in India, using your OCI card and Canadian passport as ID proof.

• Your physical presence makes the process faster, as the GPA is usually registered the same day.

Key Points:

• The GPA is valid only as per the authority you confer and must be registered at the sub-registrar’s office if it relates to immovable property (as per Section 17 of the Indian Registration Act).

• For sales/transfer of property in many states, the GPA must be executed by the owner and registered.

• Banks or officials may require additional KYC verification if the property is later sold.

Our services can be engaged to review the draft, guide you through the attestation process, and ensure registration in India. This advice is based on the information provided and is protected under attorney-client privilege.

You can execute the GPA either from Canada or in India.

From Canada:

• Draft GPA in Indian format.
• Sign before a Notary and get it apostilled or attested by Indian Consulate.
• Send original to India.

From India (if you visit):

• Carry passport + OCI.
• Draft GPA and sign before the Sub-Registrar.
• Registration makes it immediately valid.

Note: Registration is mandatory for property GPA. Passport + OCI are enough; Aadhaar/PAN not required.
