Attestation/Adjudication of GPA executed by NRI sent to Indi

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 19 May 2010 This query is : Resolved
An NRI residing abroad, executes a GPA for the purchase of property in India. The GPA is notarised and stamped by Indian Embassy in that country.
Does this GPA needs to be adjudicated or attested/stamped by the jurisdictional sub-registrar/District Registrar in the state of Karnataka to validate it?
If it is not stamped or attested by the Sub-Registrar/District Registrar, in Karnataka, is the GPA VALID OR NOT?
What is the status of all the transactions conducted on the basis of such GPA,which had not been stamped/attested/adjudicated by the Sub-Registrar/District Registrar in matters of purchasing a property in the State Of karnataka?

You should present the GPA for stamping to stamp office, after that it will be legally valid for sale purchase of land.

The mentioned GPA needs neither local registration nor affixation of stamp duty and it is purely a valid document and all acts mentioned therein can be performed by its valid holder.
