@Anil_Gupta Thanks! The GPA template that i currently have requires the Attorney elected’s signature and passport size photograph. Do you know if i can leave that field blank and get the rest of the document which includes the executant’s details attested by the consulate?

Hi @Pri
Usually, when you go for Indian embassy attestation, you leave the space for Indian person’s sign and photo as they are not available in USA.

Hi @Anil_Gupta,
My case is that my wife and I are joint owners of a flat in India. We are selling off our flat. I will be going to India to get the sale and all formalities completed. What do I need to do to get the Power of Attorney from my wife to me for this transaction to be completed. As I am in the US, how can I get it registered in India?

You can just get the attested POA from Indian embassy.

You can register it in India only if you have an address proof there.

Hi @Anil_Gupta Thanks for the prompt reply.
A followup question though: Will the POA be executable if not registered with the SDM office?

It can be used but law varies by each state.

Registered POA is preferred way.
