Transfer of immovable property must be done only through a registered Power of Attorney. If not, the same can be termed illegal and can be set aside as null and void by a competent civil court.
Unregistered GPA cannot be legally used for effecting a transfer of immovable property.

It is advisable that a GPA on the basis of which a sale deed is being executed is a registered one because veracity of unregistered documents is always questionable. However, a sale deed can be executed on the basis of an unregistered
GPA. The Attorney appointed under the GPA can execute the sale deed acting on behalf of the principal and can register the property in favor of a Purchaser but the GPA Holder cannot register the property in his own name as Purchaser
