You can execute specific power of attorney in favour of close family relative like parents or siblings

3) it should be attested before Indian consulate
4) if executed in favour of brother in law it has to be stamped as conveyance and would attract high stamp duty

Any immovable property can be sold, purchased or gifted by person residing abroad through Special Power Attorney. The procedure is, draft a special power of attorney on Indian stamp paper of 100 rupees which is available in all countries or even on white paper giving SPA to any of you relatives/friend to sell/purchase the property. Go to Indian consulate/high commissioner and get SPA attested which the consulate official will readily do. Due to pandemic walk-ins are to Consulate are suspended, you can get the SPA attested online. Send the SPA to the person named, he will take the SPA to the District Registrar who will validate it by putting his seal and signature. Fee for validation of SPA is 1 % if it is given to blood relation if given to other person it is 2% of government valuation of the property. With the validated SPA you property can be sold by person named. In the same SPA your can also confer power on attorney to file/defend/mutate property in your favor.

It is possible to grant a power of attorney to your close family member or blood relative for the sale of property. A power of attorney does not require compulsory registration U/S 17(1)(b) for the simple reason that the donor by the execution of the document only authorizes the donee to act on his behalf and the instrument itself does not create, declare, assign, limit or extinguish any right, title or interest to or in immovable property. It has also been held that execution of deed of power of attorney is valid in law and subject to provision of the Act, is not compulsory registrable.
1. The GPA favouring the holder shall have to be drafted and sent the print out to you.
2. You shall have to append your signature thereupon before the appropriate officer of your local Indian Consulate who will attest your said signature.
3. Thereafter the said GPA shall have to be stamped by the local Collector to make it valid in India.
4. Your GPA holder can now act based on the GPA executed by you.
