WHAT IS POA (Power of Attorney)?

According to the Power of Attorney Act of 1882, a power of attorney can be defined as any instrument that gives another person the authority to act for and in the name of the person who executed the document.

A Power of Attorney, also known as a Power of Authority, is a document that grants one person the authority to act on behalf of another in certain or all legal and financial affairs. The term is abbreviated as POA. A principle, also known as a donor, is a person who entrusts another reliable individual with certain responsibilities. In the course of a lifetime, a person may find themselves in a variety of circumstances in which they are unable to fulfil the responsibilities that are expected of them, such as being physically unable to do so, being away from home for an extended period of time, or being of an advanced age. In such circumstances, if the transaction needs the attendance of the individual who is unable to be present physically, then the only way out is to assign the powers to act on behalf of the individual to another person. This person would then be able to represent the individual in the transaction. At this point, a Power of Attorney deed is going to have to be drafted up.

A power of attorney that is not durable is used for a limited amount of time during which the agent is authorised to make decisions on behalf of the owner. However, once the allotted time has passed, the agent is no longer authorised to make any decisions.

NON-RESIDENT INDIANS (NRI) POWER OF ATTORNEY

If a person (the landlord) lives outside of India but owns a property in India and wants to rent it out, he can use a power of attorney (POA) to make a renting agreement for his property. If the NRI makes a mistake when signing the Power of Attorney, the sale deed can sometimes be declared “null and void.” Some of these mistakes are made on purpose, but most of the time they just happen by accident. So, you need to check everything when a Non-Resident Indian makes a POA.
