Power of Attorney (Mukhtar Nama) Property Registration Rules
A Power of Attorney (PoA / مختار نامہ) authorizes an agent to act on behalf of the principal in property transactions. A 'General Power of Attorney' (Mukhtar Nama Am) grants broad management and sale rights and requires mandatory registration before a Sub-Registrar on e-Stamp paper. A 'Special Power of Attorney' (Mukhtar Nama Khas) limits authority to a specific single act.
