Power of Attorney for overseas property buyers

What a remote buyer should verify before authorising a representative.

What a remote buyer should verify before authorising a representative.

What to know

A Power of Attorney should identify the exact acts the agent may perform and should be reviewed for authentication, stamping, adjudication and registration requirements. Section 33 of the Registration Act describes recognised authentication routes for a principal outside India.

A Power of Attorney is authority to act, not a substitute for the conveyance document that transfers ownership.

This guide is general information only. Confirm eligibility, documents, payment, tax and registration requirements with qualified advisers and the relevant authorised dealer bank.

Practical next steps

  • Confirm your exact buyer category and the project record.
  • Request current unit information, a complete cost sheet and draft transaction documents.
  • Use official payment instructions and preserve the complete banking trail.
  • Keep independent legal and tax review separate from the sales process.
