Property Sale Through GPA Is Illegal
Through an order in 2011, the Supreme Court held that transferring property title through a general power of attorney was not valid. The top court directed municipal bodies not to register/mutate properties based on these documents. Following the order, states banned the registration of properties sold through GPA. The SC, however, said that genuine transactions carried out through GPA would be valid. In light of this, should you be entering property transactions that involve sale through power of attorney?
