power of attorney

The officer is right, if there is a clause authorising the attorney to sell or intended sal than stamp duty is compulsarily payable on the value of the property. Hence either pay stamp duty or delete the relevant clause for sale.

If I want to delte that clause then can I do it without creating new POA? If yes what is procedure for it. Basically I want to dele sell clause from it but want to keep same POA can it  do? What is legal way to do that? I want to avoid new POA as it will take more time. So want some solution to use same but delete sell clause?

Even if you delete the clause you need to sign against the deletion to ratify it. It once again involves sending the document back to the US and getting it back. So the best option is to execute another POA, however, it is always better to get the documents vetted by a professional back here before execution since it saves a lot of time, money and energy apart from keeping off from legal hassles.

What will happen if you have paid the stamp duty for the property on the POA  and then have not entered into the intended sale.The said stamp duty amount will have to then claimed back from the authorities. 

Again the whole purpose of a POA is lost in such a condition, if a person has to pay the stamp duty along with POA for an intended sale.

There is no necessity to pay stamp duty for the property on a POA for buy/ sale of property.

Get the same in writing from that Officer concerned and then go for appeal on the same.
