There are some different procedures for the same-
The power of Attorney should be executed on a stamp paper/plain paper, as the case may be as applicable in the country in which the Power of Attorney is executed.
The signature of the executant should be attested by any authorized official of the Indian Embassy/ Indian Consulate/ Trade Commissioner of India in the country where the executant resides.
The attorney’s signature should be verified in India, by his employer or his banker on a separate piece of paper, which should be submitted to LICHFL together with the power of attorney.
