Is notarization required for car sale documents signed digitally remotely?

I want to buy a car. The seller is saying that he is out of India, so I should send the stamp paper to him, and he will return it after signing. When I asked about the notary, he said that his friend is an advocate and will handle the notary. I will have to keep the courier slips from both sides. He is ready to ink and digitally sign the documents. Is a notary necessary in this case? Is notarizing the documents this way legal?

Sir, notarization adds legal validity to agreements but it is not always mandatory in car sales. Here the seller's proposed process raises concerns about authenticity and fraud. It is advisable to consult a lawyer to ensure the agreement is legally binding. Ensure the notary process complies with laws, and verify the seller’s identity before proceeding with the transaction.
