Powers of attorney for property and banking
- Irrevocable Power of AttorneyYou are giving someone a power of attorney in Punjab or Chandigarh, and the person you are appointing (the "Attorney") already has their own stake in the property or right the power is about — they have paid consideration for it, financed it, or invested in developing it — so you want the power to stand even if you later have second thoughts, without their consent. Ordinarily a power of attorney is revocable at the Principal's will under s.203 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and it also ends automatically on the Principal's death or unsoundness of mind under s.201. s.202 of that Act creates a narrow exception: where the Attorney has an interest of their own in the property that is the subject-matter of the agency, the agency cannot, in the absence of an express contract to the contrary, be terminated to the prejudice of that interest. That is what "irrevocable" means in this document — not that the power can never be revoked for any reason (fraud, or a court order, can still end it), but that the Principal alone cannot unilaterally take it back so long as the Attorney's interest subsists. THIS POWER DOES NOT, BY ITSELF, TRANSFER OWNERSHIP OF ANY IMMOVABLE PROPERTY, however it is worded, and calling it "irrevocable" does not change that. In Suraj Lamp & Industries Pvt. Ltd. v. State of Haryana, decided by the Supreme Court of India on 11 October 2011 and reported at (2012) 1 SCC 656, the Court held that immovable property can be transferred only by a registered conveyance, and that a sale of property "through" a power of attorney, an agreement to sell and a will, without a registered deed, does not convey title. Use this document to authorise someone to act on your behalf; use a Sale Deed, Gift Deed or Exchange Deed, registered in the usual way, to actually transfer ownership. Not for ordinary, revocable authority to manage or let a property — see the General Power of Attorney or the Power of Attorney for Letting and Managing a Property for that. Not for routine bank account operation — see the Power of Attorney for Bank, which does not rely on this document's irrevocability doctrine at all.₹799Open
- Power of Attorney for BankYou want someone else to operate your bank account, fixed deposit or loan account in Punjab or Chandigarh on your behalf — a common need for an NRI who cannot visit the branch, an elderly account holder, or anyone who wants a spouse, child or associate to handle routine banking while they are away. This Power is scoped narrowly to banking operations at the account(s) you name, not to your property or other affairs generally. This is an ordinary power of attorney, revocable by you at any time under s.203 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and it ends on your death under s.201 of that Act, whatever it says about its own duration — it is not, and does not try to be, the kind of "coupled with interest" power that survives those events; see the Irrevocable Power of Attorney if that is genuinely what you need, which it rarely is for a family member operating your account. Most banks accept a power of attorney in a form like this alongside their own KYC process for the Attorney, but many banks also have their own printed or digital POA format they prefer or insist on. Check with the specific branch before relying on this document alone, particularly if the power is for executing loan or security documents rather than everyday account operation. Not for authorising someone to sell or mortgage your immovable property generally — see the General Power of Attorney or, where the Attorney has a genuine interest of their own, the Irrevocable Power of Attorney; use this document only for banking.₹399Open
Parking and shared spaces
Residents' welfare associations and societies
- RWA Maintenance Agreement (Residential)You are on the managing committee of a Resident Welfare Association, apartment owners' association or an independent-floors/villas colony association in Punjab or Chandigarh, and want a signed record of each resident's obligation to pay maintenance charges and follow common-area rules — the kind of foundation many independent colonies never put in writing, unlike a cooperative house-building society, which already has share certificates and statutory bye-laws. Use this between the Association and one resident at a time, whether owner-occupier, non-resident owner, or a tenant occupying with the owner's consent. It fixes the maintenance charge, what it is meant to cover, when it is due, and what happens on default — matters that are commonly disputed later precisely because no independent RWA (as opposed to a registered cooperative society) ever recorded them. Where the complex is a registered apartment project in Punjab, the Punjab Apartment and Property Regulation Act, 1995 (PAPRA) separately governs the association of apartment owners and the maintenance obligations the promoter must hand over — this Agreement complements that framework rather than replacing it. Where the Association is registered as a society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860, its own bye-laws control voting, general body approval of charges, and dissolution, and this Agreement should track them rather than contradict them. Not for a cooperative house-building society with share certificates and cooperative-society membership — see the library's other society_ documents for that different structure. Not for engaging a facility management company — see the Facility Management Services Agreement for that B2B contract.₹399Open
- Society Registration Application (Memorandum + Rules)You and at least six other people in Punjab or Chandigarh want to form a society — a Resident Welfare Association, a charitable, literary, scientific, cultural, sports or educational body, or any other purpose s.20 of the Societies Registration Act, 1860 covers — and register it so it becomes a body corporate able to hold property, open a bank account, and sue or be sued in its own name, rather than remaining a loose, unincorporated group of individuals. s.1 of that Act needs at least seven persons to subscribe to a Memorandum of Association stating the society's name, objects, and the names, addresses and occupations of the first governing body. s.2 requires the Memorandum to be filed with the Registrar together with a copy of the Rules and Regulations for the society's management, certified by three or more of the governing body members. This document produces both, plus the covering application and the verification affidavit the Registrar's office expects, as one package. Until registration is granted, the group has no separate legal existence — a bank will not open an account in the proposed name, and nobody can sue or be sued as the society. Registration under this Act is what creates that separate existence; this document is the application for it, not the certificate itself, which the Registrar issues. Not for an already-registered cooperative house-building society's internal paperwork — see the library's other society_ documents (membership, share certificates, AGM notices and the like) for that different structure, which is formed under the Cooperative Societies Act and not this one.₹999Open
