Georgia is an Apostille Convention country, so a power of attorney signed before a Georgian notary and apostilled through the Public Service Hall is generally accepted in India. Indian citizens may also be able to sign before the Indian mission accredited to Georgia. In India the power must be stamped within three months.

Power of Attorney from Georgia: how it works
We draft a specific power for the task, such as managing an education loan, operating a bank account, selling or letting property or appearing in a case. Georgian notaries usually need a Georgian translation, so we provide a clean English text for the translator.
In India, we arrange stamping and authentication or registration, and guide the attorney holder through the work.
For students, we often prepare a limited power for a parent to deal with banks and universities, which avoids repeated document requests.
If you plan to register a property sale in India, we confirm with the sub-registrar whether a power apostilled in Georgia needs further adjudication or local authentication, so that the sale is not delayed.
