Power Of Attorney
A power of attorney lets someone act in your name: sell property, operate bank accounts, handle legal matters. But a loosely drafted POA grants more than you intended — or fails when you need it. We draft POAs with exact, limited authority.

Overview
What this document actually does
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal instrument by which you (the principal) authorise another person (the agent) to act on your behalf.
A general POA grants broad authority; a special POA limits authority to specific acts — like selling a particular property or operating a specific account.
POAs for immovable property transactions must be registered to be effective for those transactions.
NRIs commonly use POAs to manage Indian property, banking, and legal matters without travelling.
A POA can be revoked by the principal at any time, and it automatically ends on the principal's death.
Benefits
Why people get this drafted through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Authority limited to what's needed
We draft special POAs with precise, enumerated powers — your agent can do exactly what's needed and nothing more.
Property POAs that work
For property transactions, we ensure registration and drafting formalities are met, so the POA is accepted by sub-registrars and buyers.
NRI-ready execution
We guide NRIs through execution abroad — attestation, apostille, and adjudication requirements for POAs executed outside India.
Revocation handled cleanly
We draft revocation provisions and can handle the revocation deed when the authority is no longer needed.
Documents
What documents do you need for a Power of Attorney?
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.

Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.
Process
Power of Attorney process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 5
Define the scope of authority
We determine whether you need a general POA (broad powers) or special POA (limited to one task). For property transactions, the POA must be registered — an unregistered POA cannot transfer immovable property.
We draft the POA
Our lawyers draft the POA under the Powers of Attorney Act, 1882, precisely listing the powers granted, limitations, duration, and revocation terms. First draft typically takes 2-3 working days. Vague POAs get misused — precise ones protect you.
Review and approve
You review the draft to confirm the agent's powers match your intent — nothing more, nothing less.
Stamp duty and registration
The POA is executed on stamp paper of adequate value — stamp duty varies by state. POAs authorising property transactions must be registered with the Sub-Registrar; others can be notarised.
Revocation guidance
We brief you on how to revoke the POA when the purpose is served — a registered revocation deed and written notice to the agent and concerned authorities.

For NRI founders & foreign investors
If a founder or investor is outside India
You don't need to fly down. Most of our foreign-founder incorporations are completed without the founder ever visiting India — 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors, and the entire process happens online.
Before you start
- 100% foreign ownership is allowed in most sectors — no Indian partner needed
- One Indian resident director is required by law — we help you find a compliant way forward
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment
- Your passport + address proof need an apostille, not an embassy visit
- Map ownership, beneficial ownership and pricing early
After incorporation

- Complete RBI/FEMA reporting (FC-GPR, FLA) and keep the bank evidence
- Coordinate tax and ongoing compliance advice early

Showing 7 of 7 answers
A general POA grants broad authority over your affairs; a special POA limits authority to specific acts. For most purposes, a special POA is safer — and it's what we usually recommend.
Execute it before the Indian consulate or a notary abroad, then have it adjudicated (stamped) in India within the prescribed time. We guide the full sequence.
For immovable property transactions, yes — registration is required. For banking or general matters, notarisation usually suffices.
Yes, anytime, through a revocation deed — ideally registered if the original was registered, and notified to all concerned parties.
No. A POA automatically terminates on the principal's death. For post-death arrangements, you need a will.
Typically 2–3 working days.
A precisely drafted special POA limits misuse by limiting authority. Choose your agent carefully regardless — a POA is a document of trust.
Nothing matches that search. Try a shorter word, or choose “All questions”.
