आम मुख़्तारनामा
- Mukhtiarnama-e-Aam (General Power of Attorney — Management Only, No Power to Sell Immovable Property)This is the Mukhtiarnama-e-Aam that an absentee owner gives to someone at home so that the ordinary business of a house, a plot or a holding does not stop because the owner is not in the country. It lets your attorney pay the land revenue and the house tax, appear before the Halqa Patwari and the Tehsildar, get an inheritance mutation entered in the jamabandi, collect rent from a tenant, keep the electricity and water connections alive, keep an encroacher off the land, and defend a suit filed against you. It deliberately does NOT let your attorney sell, mortgage, gift, exchange or long-lease any immovable property of yours. That omission is the whole point of the document. One honest qualification to that, because the deed says it four times and a reader is entitled to know where it is not absolute. The exclusion is an exclusion of the power to sell IMMOVABLE PROPERTY. There is exactly one sale power this deed can carry, it is optional, and it reaches no land: if you choose the second option under "Shares, securities and mutual funds", the attorney may buy and sell shares, units and securities in your existing accounts, with every rupee of proceeds credited to your own bank account and no security ever put into the attorney's name. Choose the first option there, or leave that question blank, and the deed authorises no sale of anything at all. Excluding the power to sell property is the cheapest fraud-prevention step a Doaba family can take, and it is also the cheapest document. In Punjab, item (f) of entry 48 of Schedule I-A to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899, as substituted by the Indian Stamp (Punjab Amendment) Act, 2023 (Punjab Act No. 2 of 2024, gazetted 15 January 2024), charges 2% of the consideration or of the Collector rate, whichever is higher, on a power of attorney that authorises the attorney to SELL immovable property where the attorney is not a family member. In the Union Territory of Chandigarh the equivalent charge is higher still and it is not limited to a stranger: the Administration's published rates table charges a general power of attorney carrying the power to sell at 3% of the value or the consideration, whichever is higher. A power that authorises no sale of immovable property enters neither. You pay the plain fixed figure instead — Rs 2,000 in Punjab, Rs 75 in Chandigarh, on the sources and with the caveats set out under Stamping — and, far more importantly, nobody standing at a Sub-Registrar's window in Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Nawanshahr or Kapurthala with your Mukhtiarnama in hand can execute a sale deed of your land with it, because the document on its face says they cannot. Use this deed if you are eighteen or over, of sound mind, own or have an interest in property or affairs in Punjab or in the Union Territory of Chandigarh, and are appointing an individual you trust completely — typically a brother, a son, a mother or a cousin who lives in the village or the town where the property is. It is drafted so that it can be signed abroad before an Indian Consul or Vice-Consul, or before a Notary Public with an apostille, and then stamped in India within three months of first receipt here under section 18 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. ONE DEED PER OWNER. This template is written for a single Principal acting for that person's own share and no more. It has one name, one age, one address and one signature block, and it cannot be made to carry two executants. Where a khewat is held jointly — and in the Doaba most ancestral khewats are — each co-sharer who wants an attorney must instruct a separate Mukhtiarnama of their own. Do not add a second brother's name to this one by hand: the signing form the deed prescribes in clause 3.4 names one Principal, and an attorney who deals with the whole khasra on the strength of one brother's Mukhtiarnama is acting outside it. Do NOT use it to sell. It grants no power to sell immovable property at all, and even a deed that did grant one would convey nothing: in Suraj Lamp & Industries Ltd. v. State of Haryana, decided on 11 October 2011 and reported at (2012) 1 SCC 656, the Supreme Court held that the sale-agreement plus general-power-of-attorney plus will method transfers no title, and that an interest in immovable property passes only under a duly stamped and registered conveyance. If you genuinely intend to sell, instruct a registered sale deed, or a special power of attorney limited to that one sale — and budget for the 2% under item (f) in Punjab if the attorney is not your spouse, child, parent, sibling, grandparent or grandchild, or for the flat 3% in Chandigarh whoever the attorney is. Do NOT use it if you are already losing mental capacity. India has no enduring or lasting power of attorney; section 201 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 ends the agency the moment the principal becomes of unsound mind, and guardianship is the route instead. Do NOT use it for a court appearance alone — a vakalatnama does that job. Do NOT use it to authorise a company's officer; a board resolution does that. Do NOT use it where the principal is a minor, a company, a Hindu Undivided Family acting as such, or a trustee acting for a trust. And do NOT use it where you need only one narrow job done, such as getting a single mutation sanctioned: a special power of attorney is cheaper to stamp — Rs 1,000 in Punjab, Rs 15 in Chandigarh on the same published tables — and very much safer to hand over. One warning for Chandigarh in particular. If your property is an allotted or leasehold site in a Chandigarh sector, the Estate Officer's allotment file is the title — there is no jamabandi for it — and a transfer needs the Estate Office's own prior permission under Rule 7 of the Chandigarh Estate Rules, 2007 and, on a leasehold site, payment of one-third of the unearned increase. Following the Supreme Court's judgment of 10 January 2023 in Residents Welfare Association v. Union Territory of Chandigarh, SLP(C) Nos. 4950 and 5489 of 2022, the Deputy Commissioner-cum-Estate Officer's Public Notice effective 10 February 2023 permits the transfer and mutation of a residential unit only within a short list of categories, pending the decision of the Chandigarh Heritage Conservation Committee, and whether that decision has since been taken was not established for this template. This deed will let your attorney run the file, reply to a notice and pay the demands; it will not, and cannot, get a transfer through on its own.₹399खोलें
- Power of Attorney by a Person Outside IndiaA POA signed outside India by an NRI/OCI/PIO so a named person here can deal with one property — pay dues, let it, run its NRO account, litigate, present for registration and, only if stated, sell/mortgage. Tied to one property, not general. Three steps: notarised abroad plus apostille/mission attestation (or before an Indian consular officer, nothing further needed); stamped in India within three months of arrival (s.18, Stamp Act); registered where required, within s.23's window. Not for: signing in India (use a domestic POA); a gift/exchange/release/partition or sale to the attorney/spouse/firm; a minor/incapable principal; several properties plus banking/company matters together; or a bank mandate/vakalatnama.₹399खोलें
- Power of Attorney Attested Before a ConsulateYou are outside India and need an attorney in Punjab or Chandigarh to act on your behalf, particularly for property registration, authority or banking work. Section 33(1)(c) of the Registration Act, 1908 specifically recognises a POA executed by a person outside India when it is executed before and authenticated by a Notary Public, court, Judge, Magistrate, Indian Consul or Vice-Consul, or the Central Government representative listed in that section. Consular attestation therefore needs to identify the principal, attorney, scope and original instrument rather than merely certify a photocopy. After the document reaches India, section 18 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 permits a chargeable instrument executed only outside India to be stamped within three months after it is first received in India. The first-receipt date should be recorded because it controls that period. For a Punjab development-authority property or Chandigarh Estate Office property, consular authentication does not replace the authority's own transfer/mortgage permission. If the attorney is to present a registrable deed, sections 32 and 33 remain the presentation rule. Without a traceable attestation and India-receipt date, the POA can be rejected at the registration or authority counter.₹399खोलें
ख़ास मुख़्तारनामा
- Power of Attorney for LitigationCan't personally run a court case — abroad, unwell, busy? Appoint a trusted attorney to instruct advocates, sign/verify pleadings, attend hearings, and, if authorised, settle and receive money. Not a vakalatnama. Don't use it if: a company/LLP/trust; selling or mortgaging property (a POA passes no title — Suraj Lamp v. State of Haryana (2012) 1 SCC 656); a criminal accused; presenting to a Sub-Registrar; or with a stake in the outcome.₹399खोलें
- Power of Attorney to Present a Document for RegistrationA single-purpose POA: one named person presents an already-executed deed, admits execution, pays the fee (and any deficit duty), collects the registered document — nothing else. Use when the deed is signed but you can't attend — abroad, posted elsewhere, bedridden, in custody. Not for: an attorney who signs the deed, negotiates or receives sale money (a riskier instrument); an 'SA/GPA/WILL' route, which transfers no title; a minor/company/LLP/firm/trust/society principal (needs a resolution); before the deed and parties are settled; or a merely notarised power where the principal lives in India — s.33 needs Registrar/Sub-Registrar authentication.₹399खोलें
- Power of Attorney for Letting and Managing a PropertyA limited POA letting an owner's chosen person let and run a property day to day — advertise, sign the letting agreement, collect rent/deposits, deal with the society, pay dues, arrange repairs, account for money. Standard for an owner abroad or elsewhere. Deliberately narrow: bars sale/gift/exchange/mortgage; a POA conveys no title. Five form answers matter: longest agreement the attorney may sign; whether he may admit execution/present a registrable agreement; litigation scope; substitution rights; income-tax scope — registration matters most, since it decides how this Power itself must be authenticated. Not for: an attorney who sells/mortgages/gifts or grants redevelopment rights; a principal under 18; a company/LLP/trust/HUF owner (needs a resolution); or where a bank's own mandate suffices.₹399खोलें

- NOC and Consent of Co-owners and Co-sharers (Raza Nama)A PB/CH property is being sold, gifted, mortgaged, leased or handed to a developer, and the dealer isn't the only one with a claim — the advocate, bank, Sub-Registrar, Circle Revenue Officer or Estate Office wants one written no-objection from the rest of the family. Punjab: usually the khewat — where it shows two or more names, an objecting co-sharer can stall the intkal for years (Circle Revenue Officer under s.34, Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887; a jamabandi entry is only presumed true, s.44, until a civil suit under s.45 says otherwise). A development-authority allotment works too (clause 11 adjusts). Chandigarh: the Estate Office's allotment file is the title record — no jamabandi. Since Residents Welfare Association v. UT Chandigarh, SLP(C) 4950/5489 of 2022 (10 Jan 2023) and the Public Notice from 10 Feb 2023, a multi-owner residential property can be dealt with only in four categories (same-family plan; within-family transfer; within-family will; whole property to one person/family). Mutation continues for deeds up to 10 Jan 2023; the rest is frozen pending the Heritage Conservation Committee's decision — ask the Estate Office first. Two situations: co-owners hold defined shares and each can deal with their own (s.44, TPA), so consent makes the property transferable as one lot; coparceners hold a birth-based interest in ancestral/HUF property (Mitakshara), and a Karta's sale binds them only for legal necessity or with every adult coparcener's consent. Daughters are coparceners by birth since the 2005 Amendment (Vineeta Sharma, (2020) 9 SCC 1) regardless of the father's date of death — an NOC omitting them is worthless. Possession differs by deal (sale/gift for good, mortgage none, lease for the term, development while building) — clause 9 matches your answer. Don't use this: where a share-holder is actually selling (they must join the sale deed as Confirming Party); for Muslim/Christian/Parsi coparcener parts (no coparcenary — every heir signs); instead of the Chandigarh Estate Office NOC on a leasehold site (rule 7(i)-(ii), Chandigarh Estate Rules, 2007, 50-day service); instead of a Punjab authority's transfer permission (GMADA/PUDA/etc. allotments); to fix a jamabandi entry (a fard badar instead, paras 7.29-30, Land Records Manual); or where the khewat is shamlat deh (s.2(g), Punjab Village Common Lands (Regulation) Act, 1961 — claims go to the Collector, s.11).₹99खोलें
- Authorisation to Operate a Bank AccountA bank mandate: the account holder authorises one Operator to pay in, draw out, sign cheques and transfer, within limits, for a purpose and period. Uses: an elderly parent, a trip abroad, hospitalisation, or NRO operation. Doesn't replace the bank's own form/KYC. Clause 11: you indemnify the bank for acts on the Operator's instructions. Don't use it for ownership (use a joint account, nomination or will), property/tax/court matters, or once capacity is lost. A minor can't hold this.₹99खोलें
- Authority Letter to Collect DocumentsWant a bearer to collect something you can't yourself: a registered deed, a cheque, a chequebook, a builder's possession letter and keys (only against a receipt), a society NOC, a parcel, a certificate. Names the bearer/ID, what's collected, a date limit, a signed receipt. Collection only — not signing a deed, presenting for registration, operating an account, or property dealing (needs a stamped POA). A minor can't write this; a company authorises by resolution.₹99खोलें
- Board Resolution Authorising a SignatoryA company can't sign anything itself. Buying or selling property, the counterparty, sub-registrar and bank ask who may sign. A certified copy of the board resolution — notice, quorum, operative words, a money limit, expiry date, specimen signature. Use with the deed, never instead. Don't use it if: a one-person company; an LLP, trust or HUF; circulated not met; disposing of the undertaking; the counterparty is a director; or the property/counterparty unidentified.₹99खोलें
- Consent Letter of the Owner for Use of AddressLets an owner authorise someone else to use the address on a government record: GST registration where the applicant doesn't own/lease the premises, a company's (s.12, Companies Act 2013) or LLP's (s.13, LLP Act 2008) registered office, Udyam registration (self-declared, keep on file), Shops and Establishments registration, or bank KYC. Narrow by design: minimum is address-use only. Two wider options — people working there, or goods stored there — stay a bare, unpaid, non-exclusive licence; paid, it's a leave and licence/rent agreement instead. Never transfers the property or creates a tenancy or agency. Not for a tenant/licensee (landlord signs, or a sub-letting NOC); not real rent dressed as consent; not to let someone sign documents/run accounts (needs a POA); not an unoccupied address — GST verifies premises under CGST Rule 25.₹99खोलें
- Affidavit of the GPA, SPA or Sub-GPA Holder (Estate Office Annexure-11)For someone acting on a Chandigarh property under a power of attorney, where the counter wants sworn confirmation the power is real and alive — the Estate Office's Annexure-11, required whenever a deed is executed through a GPA, SPA or Sub-GPA. Submit with the deed at the Sub-Registrar, U.T. Chandigarh — not later at the Estate Office. Three prescribed statements: you hold a named power over a named share or property, executed or registered at a given serial number and date; the executant is alive, the power unrevoked; and there's no under-hand sale between you and the grantor, not executed to dodge the Stamp Act. Added: your copy is true, your act sits within the power, and what happens if the executant dies or the power is cancelled. The third statement guards against attorney-sale abuse: a sale-power GPA is charged 3% of value or consideration against Rs 75 (plain GPA) and Rs 15 (SPA) — confirm at the Sub-Registrar. Money changing hands makes paragraph 4 false and the sale conveys nothing under Suraj Lamp & Industries (P) Ltd. (II) v. State of Haryana (11 October 2011) — swearing it anyway is a false statement on a Government file. Not if the executant has died: section 201, Contract Act 1872 ends the agency (unless coupled with an interest, section 202) — use the transfer-on-death route instead (40 days with public notice, 30 for change of ownership). Not the buyer's affidavit — that's Annexure-2 (Rs 100 stamp, two witnesses). Not for the person GIVING a power. Doesn't cure a defective power — a merely notarised GPA is refused under sections 32-33, Registration Act. CHB flat: ask the Board first (Regulation 16, CHB Regulations 1979) — 20 working days for a transfer NOC. Two warnings: the Estate Officer's 10 February 2023 Public Notice freezes residential transfers outside family or 100%-single-family categories — confirm at the Estate Office, Town Hall, Sector 17-C. And this is for sector property — Manimajra and the lal dora or phirni areas use a fard and Naib Tehsildar's report instead.₹199खोलें
