A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that authorises a trusted person known as the Attorney Holder to act on behalf of the principal in specified or general matters. Whether you need someone to manage your property, execute a sale deed, or handle legal proceedings, a properly drafted and registered POA is your most powerful legal tool.

Special Power of Attorney (SPA)

A Special Power of Attorney grants limited specific powers for a defined purpose. Common uses include:

  • Sale or purchase of a specific property
  • Taking possession of a flat or apartment from a builder
  • Presenting documents and appearing before the Sub-Registrar for registration of Sale Deeds, Lease Deeds, or Relinquishment Deeds
  • Execution of documents by an authorized signatory on behalf of a company

General Power of Attorney (GPA)

A General Power of Attorney grants broad authority to the Attorney Holder to perform all acts related to the subject matter. Common uses include:

  • Overall management of immovable property
  • Paying taxes, receiving rent, and managing bank accounts
  • Filing suits and appearing before District Courts and the High Court
  • Registering and executing deeds such as Gift Deeds, Partition Deeds, Mortgage Deeds, Lease Agreements, and Settlements

When Is a Power of Attorney Required?

A POA is typically executed when the principal is elderly, unwell, or unable to be physically present for transactions. It is also commonly used when an NRI or outstation owner needs a local representative to manage Delhi based property matters.

Important: A registered Power of Attorney can only be cancelled or revoked through a registered deed of cancellation.

Power of Attorney for Property in Delhi

The Revenue Department, Government of Delhi has permitted the registration of General Power of Attorneys for the transfer and sale of leasehold properties of DDA, L&DO, MCD, and similar authorities. This allows property owners to legally transfer immovable property through a registered GPA, Agreement to Sell, and Will — providing significant relief to Delhi property owners.
