A Registered Power of Attorney (POA) executed in one state is valid across India. This means that if you are based in Bangalore, you can register your POA at any Sub-Registrar Office in Bangalore and send the original registered document to your POA holder in Delhi for completing property registration or other authorized transactions there.

VALIDITY OF REGISTERED POA ACROSS STATES POA that is duly executed, stamped, and registered in one state holds legal recognition throughout the country. Once registered, the POA becomes a valid legal instrument that empowers the attorney (the authorized representative) to act on behalf of the executant (the person granting authority) in accordance with the powers mentioned in the document. Therefore, if you reside in Bangalore, you can register the POA locally and courier it to your attorney in Delhi, who can then use it for property registration, sale, or any other authorized purpose in Delhi.

WHO SHOULD BE PRESENT DURING POA REGISTRATION IN BANGALORE To register a Power of Attorney in Bangalore, the following persons must be physically present at the Sub-Registrar's Office:

The Executant – The person granting the POA.
Two Witnesses – Each witness must sign the POA document and be physically present at the Sub-Registrar Office at the time of registration.

All three must appear in person for biometric verification (thumb impression) and a webcam photograph. IMPORTANTLY:

The executant does not need to travel to Delhi for registering the POA.
Similarly, the POA holder (attorney) in Delhi is not required to travel to Bangalore for the POA registration process.

Once registered, the original POA document can be sent via courier to the attorney in Delhi for use in property-related transactions.
