Document background
The Power of Attorney Contract is a fundamental legal instrument in Indian jurisprudence that facilitates delegation of authority from one party to another. It is essential in situations where individuals or organizations need someone to act on their behalf, whether due to absence, incapacity, or convenience. The document finds application across various scenarios, from simple administrative tasks to complex property transactions. Under Indian law, particularly the Powers of Attorney Act, 1882, these documents can be created as either general POAs (granting broad powers) or specific POAs (limited to particular actions). The document must include clear identification of parties, explicit delegation of powers, duration of authority, and proper execution as per Indian legal requirements. Depending on the nature of powers granted, additional requirements such as registration, stamping, or notarization may apply.
