If you are residing outside India and planning to buy a property in Karnataka, you may not always be able to travel to India for the registration process. In such cases, executing a Power of Attorney (POA) from abroad is commonly used solution.

VIDEO GUIDE: To help property buyers and NRIs better understand the practical execution of a Power of Attorney from abroad, we have created a detailed video guide explaining the entire process step by step.

Below is a step-by-step guide explaining how a Power of Attorney can be executed from abroad for property purchase in Karnataka. Step 1: Draft the Power of Attorney Prepare the Power of Attorney draft in Word format, clearly specifying:

Details of the Principal (property buyer)
Details of the Attorney (authorised representative)
Purpose of the POA (property purchase and registration)
Complete property schedule

Step 2: Print the Draft Print the drafted Power of Attorney on A4-size paper. Step 3: Affix Photograph and Sign Affix your passport-size photograph and sign on all pages of the Power of Attorney. Step 4: Notarisation or Consular Attestation Abroad In the country of your residence, get the Power of Attorney:

Notarised by a Notary Public, or
Attested by the Indian Consulate

The attestation must be done on all pages of the document. Step 5: Dispatch Documents to India Send the following documents to your Attorney in India:

Original notarised or consulate-attested Power of Attorney
Self-attested identity proof of the Principal (PAN / Passport / OCI)

Step 6: Attorney’s Signature in India Upon receipt, the Attorney shall:

Affix their passport-size photograph
Sign on all pages of the Power of Attorney

Step 7: Submission to District Registrar’s Office (DRO) The Attorney must submit the following documents to the District Registrar’s Office (DRO) for adjudication:

Original notarised or consulate-attested Power of Attorney
Self-attested ID proof of both the Principal and the Attorney

Step 8: DRO Verification and Adjudication The DRO verifies the document. Upon successful verification, the Power of Attorney is adjudicated and stamped, making it legally valid for use in Karnataka.

PRACTICAL CASE STUDY Recently, we executed a General Power of Attorney in the USA for a property purchase in Bangalore. After completing the notarisation abroad and DRO adjudication in Karnataka, the Power of Attorney was successfully used for sale deed registration at the Sub-Registrar’s Office. Refer to the POA image below for reference.

USE OF POWER OF ATTORNEY IN SALE DEED REGISTRATION Using the adjudicated Power of Attorney:

The sale deed was registered at the Sub-Registrar’s Office
The Attorney represented the buyer during registration
The representation details were clearly mentioned in the sale deed

Below images show the first page of the registered sale deed and the subsequent page highlighting the GPA representation clause.
