When you need it

For a registered sale where the owner cannot attend and the deed is signed for the owner by a general or special power of attorney holder. The attorney signs for the owner, not in his or her own right, so the deed names the power of attorney, where it was registered, and states that the owner is alive and the power has not been revoked.

The power must itself be registered, stamped and must give the right to sell this property. A power of attorney on its own does not transfer title; only the registered sale deed does. Not for a sale the owner signs personally (use the Sale Deed (Bainama)), or one where the attorney is also the buyer.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

Two instruments are stamped. The sale deed carries conveyance duty on the higher of the price and the Collector rate: Punjab 5% plus 1% Social Infrastructure Cess, 1% Board fee and 0.25% Special Infrastructure Development Fund (7.25% in all), with a two-point reduction on the duty for a woman buyer; Chandigarh 5%. The power of attorney must itself be duly stamped: Punjab charges a power authorising the sale of immovable property, given to someone who is not a family member, at 2% of the consideration or Collector rate, whichever is higher; Chandigarh charges a power with the power to sell at 3%. Confirm both figures at the Sub-Registrar's office before buying stamp.

Registration

The sale deed must be registered within four months. The power of attorney must also be registered (or, if signed abroad, signed before the Indian mission or notarised and apostilled, then stamped in India). The attorney attends in person with the original power, and the registering officer may ask for proof that the owner is alive. A sale on the strength of a power of attorney alone, without a registered deed, does not pass title.

Notarisation

Does not replace registration. Execute and register the deed; notarise only an affidavit that goes with it if the office asks.

Witnesses

Two witnesses, with their own photo identity. In Chandigarh the first witness must be of a kind the Punjab Registration Manual accepts, such as an advocate, a gazetted officer or a councillor, and known to the Sub-Registrar.
