This document is a formal Power of Attorney used in India to authorize an agent (typically a developer) to handle the sanctioning of building plans and the construction process.

About this template
What is this template?
This is a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) specifically limited to the administrative and technical process of building plan sanctioning. It is not a General Power of Attorney and does not grant the right to sell the property or encumber it with debt. It contains specific authorizations for municipal filings, fee payments, and technical drawing submissions.
When should you use it?
Use this document when you need a professional, such as an architect or project manager, to navigate the municipal approval process for construction in India. Use a General Power of Attorney instead if you wish to grant the attorney-in-fact broader powers including property sale and bank account management.
