Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether a husband can execute a sale deed for a jointly owned Bengaluru flat using a notarised General Power of Attorney (GPA) from his wife. The consensus is that an unregistered GPA, even if notarised, is insufficient for conveying immovable property. A registered deed is mandatory for such transactions, meaning the husband cannot legally sell the property on his wife's behalf with only a notarised GPA.

Insofar as the transaction pertaining to an immovable property is concerned,  it is mandatory to execute the transaction by a registered deed. 

Therefore the husband cannot execute the sale deed on behalf of his wife on the basis of the unregistered GPA.
