Here’s how to register a power of attorney in India,
Prepare the POA clearly stating the principal (giver), the agent/attorney (receiver), the scope of powers, and duration. It’s best to do this on non-judicial stamp paper (value varies by state).
Pay the applicable stamp duty under your state’s Stamp Act. The duty depends on the type of POA and whether it involves property. If the POA is not on stamp paper of sufficient value, it must be adjudicated before the appropriate authority (Collector/District Registrar).
Notarize the POA before a Notary Public in India. For POAs executed abroad, get it notarized locally and then attested by an Indian Consulate/Embassy or apostilled if applicable.
For property-related POAs, visit the Sub-Registrar office in whose jurisdiction the property or principal resides. Carry the original POA, identity and address proofs, passport photos, and have two witnesses present. The Sub-Registrar will verify identities and the document.
The office may take fingerprints and photos of the principal (and sometimes the agent). Pay the registration fee (varies by state and document value).
Once accepted, the POA is registered, recorded, and a registered copy is issued. This registered POA has high evidentiary value for courts, banks, and government bodies.
This is the process of registering a power of attorney in India. Registering a Power of Attorney (POA) in India formalises the authority you give another person to act on your behalf. While not all POAs must be registered, registration is compulsory when the POA confers authority to execute, present or register immovable property documents or for certain legal purposes.
