I am an NRI. I have given POA to my father to deal with the property in India. POA is duly signed/attested by Embassy in the foreign country where I work and reside.

Should POA be signed/attested by notary in India or signature from POA holder (my father) is enough?

Thanks.

If the POA is for Sale of property then it should be necessarliy regd at concern sub registrar office in India, or if it is only to manage the property then it may be enough to sign by POA holder, if it has come through embassy.

It needs to be Validated at Sub registrars office

POA is only to lease the property.

Can tenant later claim that POA was not valid because not validated/attested/signed by notary or any such authority.

Actually, stamp from embassy should be enough proof of the ligality / validity of POA. Isn't it?

A notarized POA would be enough. There is no need of Registration under Indian Registration Act. Please see Sec. 32 and 33 of Registration Act
