When you need it

A single-purpose POA: one named person presents an already-executed deed, admits execution, pays the fee (and any deficit duty), collects the registered document — nothing else. Use when the deed is signed but you can't attend — abroad, posted elsewhere, bedridden, in custody.

Not for: an attorney who signs the deed, negotiates or receives sale money (a riskier instrument); an 'SA/GPA/WILL' route, which transfers no title; a minor/company/LLP/firm/trust/society principal (needs a resolution); before the deed and parties are settled; or a merely notarised power where the principal lives in India — s.33 needs Registrar/Sub-Registrar authentication.

What follows is the position for this kind of document. The amount is set by the state the property is in and it changes, so the figure for your own state is worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office before you pay anything.

Stamp duty

Article 48; a power solely for registration or admitting execution is a small FIXED duty (Rs 100-500) — not ad valorem. A sale power leaves that entry, charged as a conveyance (concession only for a named close-relative attorney, e.g. Rs 500 Maharashtra). Executed abroad: stamp in India within three months of receipt (s.18).

Registration

Not compulsorily registrable — creates no interest, so s.17 doesn't reach it; optional under s.18. Mandatory instead: principal in India — s.33(1)(a), authenticated by the Registrar/Sub-Registrar of the principal's OWN district (some offices also want a registered power). The underlying deed itself needs presentation within four months (s.23), condonable four more on fine (s.25); s.34 mirrors this for appearance/admission.

Notarisation

A plain notarised power is routinely refused — s.32(c) recognises only s.33-authenticated ones. Principal in India (Act in force): Registrar/Sub-Registrar of his district. Act not in force: a Magistrate. Principal abroad: Notary Public, Court, Judge, Magistrate, Indian Consul, or Central Government representative — in practice consular attestation or notarisation plus apostille, then stamped within three months. Bodily infirmity/imprisonment: proviso to s.33(1), s.33(2)-(3).

Witnesses

No witnesses required for s.33 authentication itself, but two with photo ID are taken in practice. What bites is s.32A: presenter affixes photo and fingerprints; for an ownership transfer, so do buyer and seller. Paste the principal's photo, take a thumb impression at execution. Aadhaar e-KYC is state practice, not an Act requirement.

SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY
TO PRESENT A DOCUMENT FOR REGISTRATION AND TO ADMIT EXECUTION

(Executed for the sole purpose of procuring the registration of the document described in the Schedule, and of admitting its execution, under sections 32(c), 32A, 33, 34 and 35 of the Registration Act, 1908)

Executed at Dubai, United Arab Emirates on 1 April 2026.

I, Rohit Anand Deshmukh, son of Shri Anand Vishnu Deshmukh, aged about 47 years, Service by occupation, residing at X, holding Aadhaar No. X (the "Principal", "I", "me", "my"), SEND GREETINGS.

RECITALS

A. I am a party to the Sale Deed described in Part I of the Schedule below (the "said Document"), which I have executed or am to execute in my capacity as Vendor (Seller), the other party or parties to it being Smt. Kavita Nair (Purchaser) and Shri Suresh Nair (Confirming Party). The said Document concerns the property described in Part II of the Schedule (the "said Property").

B. The said Document has to be presented for registration before the Sub-Registrar at Mohali, and its execution has to be admitted before that officer.

C. I am unable to attend personally before the registering officer for that purpose, and I therefore appoint the person named below as my attorney for that limited purpose and for nothing else.

D. I reside in India, in a district where the Registration Act, 1908 is in force, and I shall accordingly execute this power before, and have it authenticated by, the Registrar or Sub-Registrar within whose district or sub-district I reside, as section 33(1)(a) of that Act requires.

NOW KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS that I do hereby nominate, constitute and appoint X, son of Shri Anand Vishnu Deshmukh, aged about 25,000 years, X by occupation, residing at X, holding Aadhaar No. X, who is my younger brother (the "Attorney"), to be my true and lawful attorney, to act for me, in my name and on my behalf, in the following matters and in no others.

  1. 1. WHAT MY ATTORNEY MAY DO

(a) To present the said Document for registration before the Sub-Registrar at Mohali, or before such other registering officer as has jurisdiction to register it, under section 32(c) of the Registration Act, 1908.

(b) To admit before that officer that the said Document was executed by me, and to do everything required of an executant's agent on such admission under sections 35 and 58 of that Act.

Where the said Document records that the consideration of ₹25,000 (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) has been received by me, to admit before the registering officer that I have received it, so that the endorsement under section 58 of that Act may be made — this being the only discharge my Attorney may give, my Attorney remaining forbidden by clause 2 below to receive, collect or adjust any part of that consideration himself, and the consideration being payable to me directly.
