Information Contained in a Certified Copy in Telangana
A Certified Copy (Nakal) issued by the Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) in Telangana contains comprehensive details of a registered property transaction. Each section of the document plays a vital role in verifying ownership, legal history, and property authenticity.
1. Document Number and Year of Registration
- Every registered property document in Telangana is assigned a unique document number along with the year of registration.
- These details act as the primary reference for retrieving the property record from the SRO database.
- Without the correct document number and year, it is impossible to generate the certified copy.
2. SRO (Sub-Registrar Office) Details
- The certified copy clearly mentions the name and location of the SRO where the property document was originally registered.

- Applicants must always approach the same SRO (offline or online system linked to it) to obtain the certified copy.
3.Property Details
- The survey number, sub-division number, plot number, or municipal number are listed.

4. Ownership Information
