Doesn’t need to be blood relative

POA can be given to friend or blood relative but the difference is stamp duty.

  • The stamp duty to blood relatives is just Rs. 200
  • The stamp duty to non-blood relatives is 5% of property value

The difference in stamp duty is huge for blood and non-blood relatives, also blood relatives are considered as trustworthy.

Following people comes under blood relative category

  • Father

  • Mother

  • Brother

  • Sister

  • Husband

  • Wife

  • Children

The stamp duty for above people is just Rs. 200

In-laws, cousins, friends, colleagues, advocates, and brokers come under non-blood category.

The stamp duty for non-blood relatives is 5% of property value. For example, your property value is Rs. 50 lakh. The stamp duty is Rs. 50 lakh X 5% = 2,50,000/- which could be huge value compare to blood relative.

Rs. 2.5 lakh paid at the time of POA adjudication in India.

Below is one of our latest POA from USA. My client issue POA to his brother in India. We paid the stamp duty of Rs. 200 in India at the time of adjudication.
