About this template
What is this template?
This document is a formal authorization for a third party to act on behalf of a taxpayer in India. It is not a general power of attorney and is limited strictly to income tax matters for a specific period. It contains specific powers to sign verifications and produce books of accounts.
When should you use it?
Use this document when you need a tax consultant or relative to handle a specific tax case in India, instead of using a General Power of Attorney which would grant overly broad rights.
