No, For sale deed of immovable property owner's present is compulsory and on GPA it not applicable as per the latest amendment of section 17 as per Indian Registration act.

 

[(1A) The documents containing contracts to transfer for consideration, any immovable property for the purpose of section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 (4 of 1882) shall be registered if they have been executed on or after the commencement of the Registration and Other Related laws (Amendment) Act, 2001 and if such documents are not registered on or after such commencement, then, they shall have no effect for the purposes of the said section 53A.]

Those who cannot come  can give power of attorney to one of the co-owner.  Talk to the lawyer who is preparing the 

sale deed and he would get the needful done.

- Yes, legally it can be possible after giving authority to other member ,who is able to appear before the registrar. 

- If your mother or any member is unable to go there for executing the deed, then they should give SPA/POA in favour of other to sign and execute the Sale deed in their behalf.

1. Yes if all the owners gives registered POA to any one of them he can can represent all others at the time of registration. 

2. However the problem is during registration of PPA both the Principal and the Attorney needs to be physically present. 

3. Therefore the physical movement can not be avoided altogether.

1. Such of those children who cannot be able to physically present for executing the sale deed can authorise one or two siblings or their mother to execute the sale deed on their behalf in the jurisdictional Sub Registrar's Office by giving the power to sign by giving a registered POA to them.

2. Based on the registered POA, the sale deed can be executed without having to physically present in the process.

1. ONLY a proper Stamp Duty paid (500/-) and Registered POA holder is entitled to execute any immovable property transaction before the local registrar of sub-assurances. Online POA Registration facility is not available, as yet. IF the POA is not registered, THEN the whole proceedings shall remain illegal. POA can be given to "ANYBODY", irrespective of relationships. Stamp Duty on POA is not the same as Stamp Duty paid on Sale /Purchase Deed.

2. POA may have strategic clauses and time limitations of the deal (payment terms, validity time period of the POA document ....), for safety of the POA giver.

3. POA can be registered "ANYWHERE" in India, before the local registrar of sub-assurances and shall be valid throughout India. Stamp Duty on POA is not the same as Stamp Duty paid on Sale /Purchase Deed. A Notarized POA is legally infructuous for immovable properties.

4. POA document can be endorsed abroad by the local consulate office and SUBSEQUENTLY stamp duty paid and registered in India, for it to be legally enforceable.

5.  IF person CANNOT go to Registrar office to register POA, THEN Registrar's officer can be requisitioned to visit home, to register POA, on payment of due fees by following due procedure of law.

6. As per a SC judgment, "Immovable Property" CANNOT be sold using a GPA and such GPA and Sale shall remain legally null & void.

The property co-shared by all six, can be sold jointly by all by executing a joint registered sale deed in favor of the prospective buyer.

There is no exemption to it.

Alternately either of yo an execute a power of attorney deed duly registered in favor of one another so that the power agent can sign the sale deed on behalf of his principal.
