Sale of property by nri- citizen of canada

elbee barboza (Querist) 18 May 2013 This query is : Resolved
I intend to purchase an apartment in Mumbai from an NRI who resides in Canada.

1) Does the NRI need to be physically present for the sale deed/ registration.

2) Can the sale deed be executed under a POA thus legalizing the sale, and if so can this POA be executed at the Indian embassy in Canada or does it need to be executed in India or Mumbai specifically.

The Power of Attorney executed in Canada has to be adjudicated in Mumbai. The below-mentioned link may be of use to you:
