FAQs

Power of Attorney Questions NRIs Ask

A POA authorises a trusted person in India to act on your behalf for property, banking, tax, litigation, or registration matters. It must be properly drafted, signed, and often apostilled or attested before use in India.

A general POA grants broad powers and is riskier. A special POA limits powers to specific acts (e.g. one property sale). We recommend special POAs tailored to your transaction.

If executed abroad, the POA typically requires apostille under the Hague Convention or embassy attestation for non-Hague countries, then registration in India where required. We guide the full chain.

Yes, when the POA explicitly lists those powers and meets state sub-registrar requirements. We draft POAs that registrars commonly accept.

Validity depends on wording — it may be transaction-specific or time-bound. We include clear expiry and revocation clauses.

Yes. Revocation should be documented, notarised, and notified to the attorney and institutions relying on the POA. We prepare revocation deeds when needed.

Passport copy, address proof, description of powers needed, attorney-in-fact details, and related property or account documents. We send a customised checklist.
