Your brother must provide a legally valid Power of Attorney (POA) attested by the Indian Embassy in Scotland for it to be recognized in India. A simple PDF or WhatsApp copy is not legally enforceable. He can opt for an apostilled POA as per the Hague Convention, which may simplify embassy requirements. Alternatively, he can delegate signing authority to a local lawyer. Delays may impact redevelopment benefits, so he should act promptly.
