Question: Hi I have a Power of Attorney granted by the Indian High Commission of India in the UK. I understand that I need to register the POA in India. please can you advise which office in Mumbai I can register this document at? is there a timescale for the POA that is valid for? Thanks Tania Answer: Power of Attorney [POA] received from abroad after attestation by the Indian consulate should be registered at the Sub Registrar Office. This generally should be done within three months of receipt in India. Check the net and find the nearest Sub Registrar office in Mumbai as there are several in Mumbai.
