Is It Safe to Buy Property Through General Power of Attorney?

Buying property through a General Power of Attorney (GPA) in India is risky and legally complicated. The Supreme Court prohibits property ownership transfer via GPA, leading to registration issues, loan rejections, and potential fraud. Though cheaper, GPA deals can cause long-term problems, so it’s safer to buy property with proper legal ownership transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I legally buy a property through GPA in India?
Ans. No, the Supreme Court ruled in 2011 that property transfers through GPA are invalid. You should always opt for proper registration and clear title transfer through sale deed.
What happens if I've already bought a property through GPA?
Ans. If you've already purchased through GPA, consult a legal expert immediately. You'll need to work with the original owner to execute a proper sale deed and registration.
