This is a common question among homebuyers who reside outside Karnataka:
Can I purchase a property in Bangalore and complete the registration in Kerala?
The answer is No.
Property Registration Must Be Done in the State Where the Property Is Located
Stamp duty and registration are governed by state government. Therefore, the sale deed of a property must be registered within the jurisdiction of the state where the property is situated.
For example, if you are purchasing a property in Bangalore, Karnataka, the property registration must be completed at the concerned Sub-Registrar Office having jurisdiction over that property. Registration cannot be done in Kerala or any other state.
What If You Cannot Travel to Bangalore for Registration?
If you are unable to travel due to geographical distance, work commitments, health reasons, or time constraints, you may consider executing a Power of Attorney (POA).
A Power of Attorney allows you to authorize a trusted person to act on your behalf during the property registration process.
Can a Power of Attorney Be Executed in Kerala?
Yes. If you are residing in Kerala, you can execute and register a Power of Attorney in Kerala and authorize an attorney holder in Bangalore. Once the POA is duly executed and registered, the original document can be sent to your attorney holder, who can complete the property registration in Bangalore on your behalf without your physical presence.
