Ravi Textiles Pvt Ltd wants to authorise its manager, Sunita Rao, to appear and sign documents before the Registrar of Companies on its behalf for one year. Which drafting approach is most appropriate?

A power of attorney or authorisation letter is appropriate. It empowers Sunita to act as agent for the company for specified acts, here ROC appearances and signings, and should state the period. Partnership, gift and sale deeds serve entirely different purposes and would not create an agency.

  1. AA deed of partnership naming Sunita as partner
  2. BA gift deed in favour of Sunita
  3. CA power of attorney or authorisation letter specifying the acts and periodCorrect
  4. DA sale deed transferring the company's registered office to Sunita

Explanation

Authorising a person to act for another in specified matters is done through a power of attorney or authority document, which should list the acts permitted and the validity period. The other documents serve different purposes: partnership, gratuitous transfer of property, or sale of property.
