14 November 2009 When attending Notice U/s 143(2) if you send anyone else to appear, ITO will insist on a Letter of Authority in favour of the person attending authorising him to make submissions on your behalf and also submit documents necessary to complete your assessment. This letter of authority should be submitted on Non Judicial Stamp Paper purchased in the state where assessment is taking place as per value fixed by the state government. In Maharashtra it is Rs.100. You cannot affix a Court Fee Stamp on this document.

Vakalatnama is what you are giving to your lawyer to represent you before a judicial authority.

Power of Attorney is what you grant to a person to commit deeds and acts on your behalf as if you yourself are committing those deeds and acts and you indemnify any one before whom your power of attorney has acted on your behalf with the confirmation that you are responsible for such deeds or acts done by the attorney as if you yourself have committed them and therefore you are full responsible and liable for such actions.

I have not come accross a Muktarnama but similarly if Vakalatnama is to give lawyer authority for your judicial case, then Muktar can be substituted to mean whatever it is.

I hope this is sufficient for you as a commentary will run into pages.
