As per property laws in force in India, a General Power of Attorney (GPA) needs to be registered if it is executed for the purpose of transferring or dealing with immovable property. Therefore, if you are using the GPA to sign on your mother's behalf for the registration of the property in Bangalore, the GPA will need to be registered.

To register the GPA, you will need to submit it to the sub-registrar of assurances in the jurisdiction where the property is located. You will also need to pay a registration fee based on the value of the property. After registration, you will be given a copy of the registered GPA, which you can use to sign on your mother's behalf.

It is important to note that between a notarized GPA vs registered GPA, a notarized GPA is not sufficient for the purpose of transferring or dealing with immovable property in India; only a registered GPA will be considered valid for this purpose.

As per Supreme Court decision you have to get the GPA registered if u want to convey further but when you have purchased both the property and Khata stands jointly there is no necessity for GPA so you can handle it

Both the registered GPA and notarised GPA have the same effect, i.e. they are invalid in relation to the title. The GPA can be used to sell property to a third party. However, it is important that the address of the property in the deed must be correctly and properly mentioned as in the title document.
