Registration of flat in Bhubaneswar

Q: I have bought an under construction flat in Bhubaneswar and I am hearing I might be called for registration. But I am currently located in USA and cannot be present physically to register. Do I need to prepare Power of Attorney to someone to do the flat registration. I heard since it is a flat and not a land I do not need to even give Power of Attorney and instead all the registration docs can be just sent to me to USA and then I can send it back with my signatures. Please advise if I am correct

HI Jubeen,
Being an NRI, you can have the entire deal executed and the property registered on your behalf by anyone you choose. Make sure you choose a reliable, close person because you are trusting that person with a lot. He or she could be a friend, family member, colleague. All you need to give that chosen person is a Power of Attorney to transact on your behalf.

You can write a POA. A Power of Attorney (POA) is nothing but a simple document which lists out the powers that you want to share with the POA holder. if you have bought an apartment in India and you can not visit personally to take the possession, or sign in the registrar office for registration in your name, you can share these rights with any of your family member or a friend by issuing a registered power of attorney.

Yes, I am agree with Mr. Diptarishi Dev. You would have also heard the same from your builder/developer, asking for a registered POA to sign on your behalf. This is my own experience with finding the meaning of registered POA and what all is needed to get it.
