Gpa from foreign

Either is accepted if it is attested by two witnesses and attested by the Indian Embassy/Consulate or a Notary Public abroad and it should be validated by the District Registrar or Collector under Sec.18 of the Indian Stamp Act 1899 to produce in court.

A document signed on an Indian stamp paper outside of India is not recognized as legally valid. To be valid, the document should ideally be signed on plain paper, notarized or apostilled abroad (or via the Indian Consulate), and then stamped/adjudicated in India within 3 months. Because India is part of the Hague Convention, documents from member countries should be Apostilled. For non-member countries, the document must be authorized by the Indian Embassy.

To put it more precise:

1. Indian stamp paper is not legally valid if signed outside of India. However, a person outside India can sign a power of attorney on plain paper, get it notarized abroad, and send it to India for legalization. 2. A power of attorney signed abroad by an NRI needs to be authenticated by a notary public or Indian consulate official and stamped in India within 3 months to be valid. 3. Under Indian law, a power of attorney signed and notarized abroad is presumed to be legally executed if it is notarized by a notary public, even if there is no formal recognition of that foreign notary under Indian law.

Option 2 is perfectly valid and legal.

I would like to prefer option 2 for such a document.

Repeated academic question paper.

The premises of an embassy in a foreign country is considered as soil of the country to which the embassy belongs for all legal purposes. My nephew is USA signed documents at the Indian Consulate in Houston abandoning his claims on ancestral property. Option-2 is preferable.
