Understanding Power of Attorney for NRIs

A Power of Attorney, or POA, is a document that an NRI will give to an individual (the attorney) to act in their place in any actions that need to be taken in India. For a POA to be valid in India, it will need to be specific with what actions will be taken on behalf of the grantor (the attorney) or if the attorney will have the ability to take any actions in an unspecified or general description.

Different types of Power of Attorneys

General Power of Attorney (GPA): A General Power of Attorney (GPA) will allow an attorney to act in their place for general responsibilities such as the leasing, renting, or selling of any properties, financial banking transactions, or managing any civil or criminal lawsuits.
Special Power of Attorney (SPA): A Special Power of Attorney (SPA) will be specific to a singular transaction, such as the selling of one property.

Choosing between a General Power of Attorney (GPA) or Special Power of Attorney (SPA) will be based on what you need, with the guidance of the experts on what is available.
