Is power of attorney mandatory with Form 1 ?

No power of attorney is not mandatory however in case of any rectification in moa or aoa directors themselves have to go to roc thats why power of attorney is given to authorised someone to make rectification in moa and aoa if any.

Agreed with Hardik.....

If it is mandatory would a Rupees twenty non judiciary e-stamp be enough:

POA needs to be executed on 100stamp paper.

for filling the same and on whose name should the POA be taken.

preferably, in the name who is taking steps for incorporation. for e.g PCS

There are people who say ROC needs to check the MOA and AOA and then rectifications if any needs to be done before filing form 1. Is this applicable anymore, if yes how do I submit the MOA and AOA to ROC before submitting Form .

First you need to file form 1, after which if any query raised by ROC, you need to rectify the same, take signature as per POA or of subscribers,  by resubmission or as mentioned in th status of the form.

I would be paying the stamp duties online along with form 1)  With just two subscribers do I need to care about "Annexure containing details of subscribers".

Yes.
