FAQs
Property Report Questions NRIs Ask
What is a Power of Attorney (POA) for NRIs in India?
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.
What is the difference between general and special POA?
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.
Do NRIs need apostille on POA for India?
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.
Can POA be used for property sale or gift deed registration?
Yes, when the POA explicitly lists those powers and meets state sub-registrar requirements. We draft POAs that registrars commonly accept.
How long is a POA valid in India?
Validity depends on wording — it may be transaction-specific or time-bound. We include clear expiry and revocation clauses.
Can I revoke a POA from abroad?
Yes. Revocation should be documented, notarised, and notified to the attorney and institutions relying on the POA. We prepare revocation deeds when needed.
What documents are required to create an NRI POA?
Passport copy, address proof, description of powers needed, attorney-in-fact details, and related property or account documents. We send a customised checklist.
Why choose India For NRI for POA drafting?
