	Sir, I have a GPA from my cousin who lives in USA. I was asked to pay stamp duty to register the GPA as I am not a blood relative. What are the charges to be paid and how it's calculated.

GPA stated to have been executed in USA, it is imperative to get it notarised / attested by Embassy, which do not attract any stamp duty.

However, such PoA can not be registered in India since executant is not present before Sub-Registrar.
