About this template
What is this template?
This is a specific power of attorney used for a single real estate transaction in India. It is not a general power of attorney and does not grant the agent broad financial or personal decision-making powers outside the property sale. It contains specific authorizations for tax clearances under the Income Tax Act 1961.
When should you use it?
Use this when you have already signed an agreement for sale but cannot be physically present at the Registrar's office to sign the final conveyance deed. If you need to grant broader powers for managing multiple properties, use a General Power of Attorney instead.
