Can I buy property in Delhi through a GPA instead of a registered Sale Deed?

No, not safely. The Supreme Court has ruled that the "sales" of GPAs do not convey ownership. Only a registered Sale Deed does that.

Is a GPA completely useless for property transactions?

No. A GPA can be used to authorize a person to sign a registered Sale Deed on your behalf, but it cannot transfer the property itself.

I bought property years ago using a GPA. Is my ownership at risk?

Yes, potentially. You don't own the property fully legally. Regularization of title should be sought from a property lawyer.

Can family members use a POA to manage each other's property in Delhi?

Yes, this is a real and legal use of the POA; for instance, a spouse or a child managing your property on behalf of an NRI family member.

Does a POA need to be registered to be valid for property matters?

In the case of property transactions, a registered POA enjoys much greater legal significance and is mandatory to be relied upon at the Sub-Registrar's office.

What should I do if a seller offers to sell me property only through a GPA?

This is a red flag. Request a proper title search and a Sale Deed and have a property lawyer check the paperwork before any payment.
