Overview

What a Power of Attorney does

A Power of Attorney (POA) authorizes a trusted person in India to act on your behalf for specific tasks or broader legal and financial matters. For NRIs, a properly prepared POA can reduce travel requirements and help ensure timely action with banks, registrars, housing societies, and other authorities.
