Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal instrument through which a person gives the authority to another person to act or represent him/her on his behalf for specific purposes. Section 1A of the Power of Attorney Act 1882 defines Power of Attorney as “any instrument empowering a specified person to act for and in the name of the person executing it.”
The person who gives the power of attorney is the Principal or Donor. The person to whom the power of attorney is given is the Attorney Holder.

General Power of Attorney (GPA) is a legal instrument in which the attorney holder gets authority in all matters of the concerning business or property or other. This type of POA, in a sense, grants complete power to execute things or you may say unlimited powers.
On the other hand, Special Power of Attorney (SPA) is a legal instrument in which the attorney holder gets authority to do only the specified acts on the behalf of the Principal. In other words, this type of POA confers only limited powers.
Section 85 of the Indian Evidence Act states that “The Court shall presume that every document purporting to be a power of attorney and to have been executed before, and authenticated by a Notary Public, or any Court, Judge, Magistrate [Indian] Consul or Vice-Consul, or representative of the Central Government, was so executed and authenticated.”
Authentication does not merely indicate attestation; it implies that the person who has authenticated the POA assures himself of the identity of the Principal who has signed the POA and the fact of execution.
If an NRI wants to grant POA to somebody in India, he or she authenticate the legal instrument before an Indian Consulate in his/her country of residence.
Yes. You must draft a Revocation Deed and register it at the same office of the sub-registrar where you registered the POA. Your lawyer will help you in this regard.
A POA can be revoked in case the Principal finds that the Attorney Holder has acted beyond the powers granted to him/her or in case the Attorney Holder has passed away or become mentally unstable or in case the purpose of granting POA is over. However, irrevocable POAs also exist.
