About this template
What is this template?
This is an irrevocable legal instrument that transfers administrative and representative authority from a landowner to a developer. It is not a sale deed but contains the power to execute a conveyance once development is complete. It specifically includes provisions for dealing with the Urban Land Ceiling Act and Income Tax clearances.
When should you use it?
Use this when a landowner has signed an agreement for sale and handed over possession, but the developer needs legal authority to start construction and sell flats. Use a General Power of Attorney if the relationship is not based on a specific development and sale agreement.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |

| 5 | Construction and Compliance | Requires the Attorneys to complete construction at their own cost while strictly observing Town Planning and Municipal regulations. |

| 32 | Sale and Conveyance | Empowers Attorneys to execute and register final conveyance deeds in favour of themselves, nominees, or co-operative societies. |
