Let’s discuss: Is notarized power of attorney valid in Maharashtra? Yes, but only partially. A notarized power of attorney (PoA) is legally valid for certain purposes, but for many property-related matters in Maharashtra it is not sufficient.
For personal, non-property matters such as managing bank accounts, filing returns, collecting rent, or handling short-term tasks a notarized PoA generally works.
Notarization authenticates the identity of the parties and signatures under Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (Section 85), so courts or authorities may accept notarized PoA for limited tasks.
If the PoA concerns immovable property (sale, transfer, sale-deed execution, registration, major property transactions), a notarized PoA is typically not legally valid for those purposes in Maharashtra.
Under the Registration Act, 1908 (as amended for Maharashtra), any PoA authorizing sale or transfer of real estate must be registered with the Sub-Registrar to be enforceable.
Courts and buyers often reject unregistered or only-notarized PoAs for property deals; such PoAs lack strong evidentiary weight, and may be declared void if challenged.
I hope this helps!
