Please get it attested by the Indian High Commission in the UK and courier it to your father. You have to present yourself in person before the High Commission there for the attestation.

3. Your father may very well gift the property to your mother based on the specific PoA.

Note: A specific PoA is to be preferred over a general PoA here, if you have only one property to deal with. However, you cannot execute a gift deed there and get it registered here, without being physically present.

3) registration of POA is not necessary 

4) on basis of POA father can execute gift deed in favour of mother

- Further, as you are abroad then you can execute that PAO in favour of your father , and send to him for appear before the Register to execute the gift deed on your behalf. 

You can post it but you need to register it through POA or in person in India 

Of you are the signatory of the specific poa then you need to be present. Now in covid the norms are relaxed you can do it online or through VC

If your mother is in India you can do the needful

1. You can get the power of deed attested even by a notary public of that country instead of going to the Indian consulate for attestation

However if the consult ate is insisting on your physical presence then you have no choice about it.

2. You can send it to the power agent back in India in a sealed cover who will then get it adjudicated through consent sub registrar.

3. Yes.

No, you cannot transfer the proeprty by gift deed executed in UK for the property located in India (Mumbai), you can get it transferred through the concerned sub registrar in India

You can then obtain a certificate of Apostille to authenticate the notorial act 

Additionally obtain the endorsement of the Indian Consulate on the signed and notorised gift deed 

The above procedure is to be done also for the special power of attorney (it will be a presentation power of attorney authorizing the the grantee to complete the registration formalities of the gift deed on your behalf)

Both the document ie the gift deed and Spoa alongwith the certificates of Apostille can then be couriered by you to your parent Mumbai 

Your parent can then get the gift deed and spoa stamped 

Thereafter your mother accept the gift deed by putting her signature 

The duly signed gift deed can then be presented to the sub registrar who will register the gift deed and for the donor your grantee under the spoa can admit the significance 

The spoa must also have powers for mutating the name of your mother in the property records 

Dear client,

2. Yes.

3. Yes, your father can proceed with the execution of a gift deed on your behalf. 

Thank you.
