Our Services
Power of Attorney, Vakalatnama and Sale Deed Affidavit
Three related documents, one office — prepared in Australia and attested for use in India.
Power of Attorney
A legal instrument that authorises a trusted person to act on your behalf in India — for property, banking, investments or legal matters. Drafted as a General or Special power of attorney to suit how and where it will be used. Read more
Vakalatnama
A written authorisation appointing an advocate to represent you before a court or tribunal in India, so your matter can proceed even when you cannot appear in person.
Sale Deed Affidavit
A sworn statement supporting a property sale deed in India — typically confirming identity, ownership or consent — signed before a Notary Public in Australia and attested for use in India.
Our Process
How the Power of Attorney Process Works
Six clear steps from the first conversation to a document that is ready for use in India.
Initial Consultation
We review your circumstances: which powers you want to grant, where it will be used, and by whom.
Document Collection
You provide ID, address proof, passport, OCI or visa details, and any supporting background.
Draft / Finalise POA
We prepare the POA text or review your existing draft to align with Indian and Australian requirements.
Signing & Witnessing
You sign the POA in front of a Notary Public or Justice of the Peace, as required.
Authentication
We arrange for an apostille by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) in Australia, or attestation at the Indian Consulate, if required.
Registration in India
If the POA involves property transactions in India, we help facilitate the registration with the Sub-Registrar in the relevant Indian state.
Documents
Required Documents for a Power of Attorney
Have the following ready so we can prepare and lodge your document without delays:
- Your valid Australian photo ID (passport or driver licence)
- Copy of your Indian passport, OCI or PIO card (if applicable)
- Australian address proof (utility bill, driver licence)
- Draft of the power of attorney (unless we prepare it)
- Details of the person you are appointing (name, address, relationship)
- If for India: notarised document, apostille certificate or consular attestation
- If property-related in India: additional state-specific registration forms
Good to know: the details of the person you are appointing should match their Indian identity documents exactly. Spelling differences between documents are a common reason a power of attorney is questioned in India, so we check every name and address before you sign.
Timeframes
Processing Time
- Standard POA (general, non-property matters): approx. 1–2 weeks
- Property sale or registration-related POA in India: 3–6 weeks or more, depending on Indian state registration and local authority backlog
We will keep you updated throughout the process and advise promptly if additional steps are needed.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which type of POA should I use, General or Special?
A General Power of Attorney (GPA) grants broad authority over your affairs. A Special (or Limited) Power of Attorney (SPA) is used for a specific transaction — for example, selling a particular property. Your choice depends on the scope and nature of what you need your attorney to deal with.
Does a POA executed in Australia automatically work in India?
No — to be enforceable in India, the POA must typically be properly drafted according to Indian law, signed in front of an authorised Notary Public in Australia, authenticated (via DFAT apostille or Indian Consulate attestation), then stamped and registered in the relevant Indian state (especially for property matters). The Ministry of External Affairs and the Indian missions in Australia publish the current attestation requirements.
What is the difference between a Vakalatnama and a power of attorney?
A Vakalatnama authorises an advocate to appear and act for you in a specific court matter in India. A power of attorney authorises a person to act for you more generally, or for a specific transaction, outside the courtroom. Some matters — a property dispute, for example — call for both, and we can prepare them together.
What costs are involved?
Costs vary depending on complexity, registration needs in India, and whether consular attestation is required. We provide a clear quote for your case at the start.
Can I revoke the POA later?
Yes — you can revoke a power of attorney by executing a revocation deed and notifying the relevant parties, including the registering authority in India if the POA was registered. We can assist with this if required.
