Power of Attorney

As we have already explained in our Page nri-registration-assistance that an NRI can execute the Leave and License Agreement by giving Power of Attorney to any close relative or friend before leaving India or the same can be given even from outside of India.

Types of Power of Attorney

There are two types of power of attorney:

General Power of Attorney – A general power of attorney is usually a document that allows an agent to act on behalf of his principal for more than one matter. There is no expiration date on a general power of attorney unless otherwise specified.

Special Power of Attorney – A special power of attorney is created to give an agent power to complete a specific job. The power of attorney ceases to apply once the job is complete. For example, you may give a power of attorney to your relative to sell a piece of land in Bangalore or purchase an apartment in Mysore. The specific power of attorney expires once the transaction is complete.

We at Leave and License will assist you in Notarization of Power of Attorney and for that purpose you don’t have to go anywhere rather our Executive will visit and handover the final document. It’s advisable that you give your Power of Attoney well before leaving India so that you don’t face any difficulty in near future.

For those NRI customers who are outside India and haven’t still given POA to anyone in India then the same can be done from the country in which they are residing by going to the Indian Consulate/Embassy and requesting them to attest POA in favour of their person of choice in India. Later the same Attested POA has to be sent to the person in whose favour the Authorization letter is prepared. The same person can then reach us and we will help him to Notarize the POA at the comfort of his/her home.

DOCUMENTARY PROOF REQUIRED FOR ATTESTATION OF POWER OF ATTORNEY

•    Original passport and copies of all non-blank pages including first and last page.

•    Copy of address proof in USA – 1 document showing proof of address is required. It could be a bank statement, driving license, utility bill,    home lease agreement, etc.

•    Valid visa copy – H1, H4, L1, etc. – Remember B1/B2 is not considered valid for creating a power of attorney.
