NRI Legal Services
Power of Attorney for NRIs in India
Clear guidance for drafting, attesting, and using a Power of Attorney to manage property, banking, and legal matters in India while you are abroad.
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.
Scope
Common POA uses

Representation for filings, appearances, and coordination with counsel, where permitted, with clear instructions and documentation.
