Due Diligence ## The Critical EC Checklist Do not treat the EC as a standalone title certificate. Every entry must be reconciled with original deeds and revenue records. ### Survey number Current survey and subdivision match Patta, FMB, and sale deed. ### SRO jurisdiction Village maps to the SRO that issued the EC. ### Search period The title chain and local legal advice define the period to search. ### Returned entries Every listed instrument is tied back to its underlying evidence. ### Nil result The exact identifiers, office, and period are retained with the outcome. ### Instrument status Release, cancellation, rectification, or continuing effect is evidenced. ### Other searches Court, revenue, survey, planning, and possession checks remain separate. ### Title-chain match Parties, dates, extent, and document numbers are reconciled. ## How to apply for and verify an EC 1 ### Confirm the property identifiers Before applying, match the survey number, subdivision, village, taluk, SRO, extent, and boundary description against the Patta, FMB sketch, and latest sale deed so the EC search covers the correct parcel and period. 2 ### Choose the Proquiro handoff or the official application Use the form on this page to send your search details to ViewPatta, our consumer service, without creating a Proquiro account. For a digitally signed Encumbrance Certificate, follow the current TNREGINET application workflow; the Registration Department controls payment, approval, delivery, and certification. [Official Portal](https://tnreginet.gov.in/portal/) 3 ### Set the SRO, search period, and property details Select the relevant zone, district, Sub-Registrar Office, village, and property identifiers. Use the period defined from the parcel’s title chain and local legal advice. If the portal cannot return a period or identifier, record the gap and follow the Registration Department’s official process. 4 ### Read every returned entry or document the nil result For each returned instrument, record the document number, dates, parties, instrument type, and property description. A nil result means the submitted search returned no relevant indexed entry; it does not prove that the identifiers, office, period, or wider title investigation were complete. 5 ### Match EC entries to the title chain Reconcile each returned entry with the underlying instrument and the title chain. Treat a deed missing from the search, an unexplained EC entry, or an unresolved instrument status as an exception that needs evidence. 6 ### Escalate gaps before token advance Unresolved instruments, jurisdiction or period gaps, missing co-owner evidence, mismatched property descriptions, and nil results without a documented search scope need parcel-specific legal review before payment. ### Transaction Dictionary Sale deed Retrieve the registered instrument and reconcile it with the title chain. Mortgage deed Confirm the secured property and obtain evidence of its current status. Release deed Match it to the instrument or interest it is intended to release. Partition deed Reconcile the resulting shares and property descriptions. Settlement / gift deed Check the parties, authority, acceptance, and affected property description. Court-related entry Retrieve the underlying order and verify its present status. ## EC vs Supporting Documents Reliability comes only when the EC is reconciled with deed, revenue, and survey records. | Document | Verification Purpose | | ------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Encumbrance Certificate | Registered and indexed entries returned for the submitted property, office, and period. | | Sale deed | The actual ownership-transfer instrument.

Use the record in context ## What this record can—and cannot—answer ### Encumbrance Certificate An EC reports registered entries for the search inputs and period. It does not prove marketable title or rule out unregistered interests, incorrect survey inputs, omitted periods, or records requiring an SRO search. **Next action:** Search every relevant current and historical survey identifier and period, retain the official result, and reconcile each entry with the underlying deed chain.

Fill in the zone, district, Sub-Registrar Office, village, search period, and survey or document details on this page, then continue on ViewPatta. No Proquiro account is required to start. ViewPatta, our consumer service, uses the Registration Department source to prepare the matched Encumbrance Certificate. If it cannot prepare a record from what you submitted, use TNREGINET or the relevant SRO directly and keep the same identifiers and search scope. Is the Proquiro EC search free, and is the result certified? Filling in the search details on this page is free and does not require a Proquiro account. Proquiro does not fetch or deliver the certificate itself: submitting the form hands your details to ViewPatta, our consumer service, which prepares and sells the matched Encumbrance Certificate. Proquiro does not issue or certify an EC. The current TNREGINET digitally signed EC application involves the Registration Department’s payment, SRO approval, QR code, and digital-signature workflow; check the live portal for current fees and processing status. What does an Encumbrance Certificate show? An Encumbrance Certificate reports registered and indexed entries returned for the property description, office, and period searched. Use each entry to retrieve and review the underlying instrument. It does not establish that the submitted identifiers, jurisdiction, and period were complete, and it does not replace separate title, court, revenue, survey, planning, possession, or physical checks selected for the parcel. Does a nil EC prove clear title? No. A nil result means the submitted search returned no relevant indexed entry. It is only as complete as the property description, office, period, and records covered by that request. A parcel-specific title review still has to reconcile the deed chain and any revenue, survey, court, planning, possession, and physical evidence selected by qualified local counsel. How many years of EC should be checked before buying land? There is no single period this page can prescribe for every property. The title chain, earlier survey identifiers, jurisdiction changes, inheritance or partition events, and the proposed transaction all affect the search scope. Ask a qualified local property lawyer to define the period and offices, then retain that instruction with every result. What EC results need further investigation? Investigate an instrument whose present status is not evidenced, an entry missing from the title chain, a deed missing from the search, a party or extent mismatch, and any gap caused by the wrong office, survey identifier, subdivision, or period. Resolve the exception with the underlying official records and parcel-specific advice before relying on the outcome. Can an EC miss a relevant property risk? Yes. An EC is a registration search, not a complete title or risk report. A wrong identifier, omitted office or period, indexing issue, unavailable record, or matter outside the registration search can leave a gap. Document the search scope and ask qualified local counsel which additional title, court, revenue, survey, planning, insolvency, possession, lender, or physical checks the parcel needs.
