Understanding Encumbrance Certificate (EC): A Must for Buyers

0
196

An Encumbrance Certificate (EC) is your proof that a property is free from legal or financial liabilities—like loans, mortgages, or disputes.

 What Is It?

  • A legal document that records all registered transactions related to a property

  • Confirms whether the property has any outstanding dues, claims, or mortgages

 Why It Matters:

  • Ensures Clear Title: Confirms the seller has full rights to sell

  • Protects Buyers: Avoids hidden liabilities or legal surprises

  • Required for Loans: Banks demand EC before approving home loans

  • Essential for Registration: Needed during property transfer or mutation

How to Get It:

  • Visit the Sub-Registrar’s Office where the property is registered

  • Or apply online via your state’s land records portal (available in Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, etc.)

  • Submit property details + period of search (usually 13–30 years)

  • Receive EC in Form 15 (if encumbrances exist) or Form 16 (if none)
