What is Encumbrance Certificate (IGRS EC)?
An Encumbrance Certificate (EC) is a document that acts as proof of property transactions between buyer and seller. It shows the record of all registered transactions related to a property.
A property will appear in the EC only if it is registered at the Sub-Registrar Office (SRO). If no transaction is registered, the property details or owner name will not be reflected in the EC.
This applies to all types of properties, including:
- Ancestral properties
- Private properties
- Government lands
👉 Even if you own a property, your name will appear in EC only when a registered transaction is recorded.
