Q 44

Is it compulsory to register power of attorney attested in India by Magistrate or notary?

Ans

They need not be registered. But General Power of Attorney containing authority to present or admit execution of a document executed by the principle is not acceptable for such presentation or admission of execution unless they are attested or authenticcated by a Sub Registrar.

Dear Querist

The Power of Attorney Holder may sell or purchase the property on behalf of the executent.

The power of Attorney is not invalid if it is not registered but if it is not registered then there is a chance of fraud and cheating.

You can use unregistered POA for the sell if the purchaser has no objection on that.

Feel Free to Call

Well, without registered POA no proeprty can be transferred. The relationship between the parties is of little consideration.

1. Even my answer will sound Terrible when I say that only a Karnataka based lawyer can answer if an unregistered GPA is valid or not as an instrument of transfer of property in Karnataka. You must understand that there are 29 states and 7 union territories in India. The lawyers practising in one state would not know the local laws prevailing in another.

2. Suffice it to say though, a property cannot be sold on the basis of an unregistered GPA in most states. There may though be state(s) which may have allowed the sale deed to be executed on the basis of an unregistered GPA.

A. Your statement is correct, Power Of Attorney need not be registered if it was executed within the family members.

B. The payment of stamp duty i.e, Rs.200/- is sufficient and it could be used for any purpose which means Sale, Mortgage, Gift, Exchange etc.,

C. Don't get confusion with respect to the same, you can use this POA for sale.
