Power of Attorney (POA) for NRI Property Purchase

A POA is strongly recommended — and practically essential — for NRIs who cannot travel to India for every step of the purchase process.

POA holder: Must be an Indian resident (a trusted family member or lawyer).

Executed outside India: Get it notarized by a Notary Public in your country. Then either attested by the Indian Embassy/Consulate, OR Apostilled (USA, UK, UAE, Singapore, Australia are Hague Convention signatories).

Stamp duty: Must be paid in India within 3 months of the POA arriving — before it is used for any transaction.

Registration: Not mandatory for home loans, but recommended for property sale/purchase transactions.

SBI: Has a specific NRI POA format — we provide the template and guide your POA holder through the process.
