• Gift Deed of my property in Pune to my daughter in Canada

Madam, I own a flat in Pune valued at 1 Cr plus. I wish to gift it to my daughter who is a Canadian citizen. I am aware that I can execute a gift deed to PIO which she is and that I have to pay 2 % stamp duty etc. Will she be able to sell it later (say after 5 years). Can she work on this through a Power of Attorney since it will be difficult for her to come to India often. If how and where the Power of Attorney  should be executed?

1. A transfer of immovable property is possible through POA if the same is registered one.

2. If the Principal is a foreign citizen/resident then he can execute POA from his country of residence and get it notarised and attested from local Notarian and Consulate Officer.

3. The same then is required to be Adjudicated from local Collector.

4. Then on its basis the attorney can get or transfer immovable property.

So in your case the POA can be executed in Cana in the above mentioned manner and then sent to INDIA for doing the rests.

1. If you are the absolute owner of the flat then you may unquestionably gift the property to your daughter who is a Canadian citizen. The required stamp duty will have to be paid on the gift. Your daughter can give a special power of attorney to some one to represent her during registration of the gift deed, this does not require her to be physically present in the office of the registrar.

2. Your daughter may later on sell the flat through a power of attorney. Power of Attorney (PoA) will have to be executed in Canada and then got attested before the Indian consulate therein. Thereafter it can be sent to the attorney in India who can then sell the flat on behalf of your daughter and remit the sale proceeds to her in the manner desired by her.

A. You can execute Gift Deed in favor of your Daughter.

B. While executing the said Gift Deed in favor of your daughter or POA holder must present before the Sub Registrar Office.

C. power of attorney executed outside India needs authentication. It has to be executed in the presence of certain designated officers. So, any power of attorney executed outside India should be authenticated by a notary public of that country , the Indian consul, or by a representative of the Central Government. Such documents need to be stamped within three months from the date of receipt in India, to be payable at the district registrar's office.

D. Your daughter will have the absolute ownership over the property once registered the Gift Deed by following legal procedures.
