Q: The validity of POA notarized in the USA for sale of property in India

Hi, I would like to send a POA to my sibling for the sale of property in India. We are joint owners of the property. I am getting the POA notarized in USA from a notary public and also getting it apostilled here in the US. The embassy here said that India being part of the Hague convention. an apostille is enough and no embassy attestation is required if an apostle is done by the state officials here. My sibling will then register the POA at the registrar office and get the sale done. Please let me know if this is fine.
