No. Even if the GPA is registered with the sub-registrar’s office, the GPA holder is not authorised to sell the property on the owner’s behalf. Even the latest judgement by the Supreme Court of India categorically invalidates the sale of a property through GPA. A GPA holder only has the authority to carry out tasks assigned by the owner, excluding the selling of property.
