Step‑by‑step: EC search on T‑IGRS

1. Confirm the correct Sub‑Registrar Office (SRO)
   
   

   • Use “Know Your SRO.” Note the SRO name exactly; you’ll need it for the search. (registration.telangana.gov.in)
     
     

2. Open the EC search
   
   

   • Go to the T‑IGRS portal → Browse → Property Registration → Encumbrance Search (EC). This is the official EC search entry point. (registration.telangana.gov.in)
     
     

3. Choose your search mode
   
   

   • By Document Number: Enter Document No., Year of Registration, and Registered at SRO.
     
     

   • By Property / Form Entry: Select District → SRO → give House/Door No. or Flat/Plot/Survey No. and set the From–To period.
     (These are the actual options shown on the EC form.) (prereg.telangana.gov.in)
     
     

4. Set the date range properly
   
   

   • For thorough due diligence, set From Date: 01‑01‑1983 to Today (online EC covers digitized records typically from 1983 onwards). For transactions before 1983, you’ll need a manual EC from the SRO. (Housing)
     
     

5. Run the search
   
   

   • Complete the captcha (if shown) → Submit/Search.
     
     

   • You’ll get a list of transactions (Sale, Mortgage, Gift, Release, etc.). Open each entry to view parties, document no., and property schedule.
     
     

6. Save/print your EC
   
   

   • Use the Print option on the result page (or your browser’s Print → Save as PDF) to keep a copy for your file. (www.bajajfinserv.in)
     
     

7. When you need a bank‑acceptable (certified) EC
   
   

   • Apply for a Certified EC via MeeSeva or at the SRO (many banks insist on certified/physically signed EC).
     
     

   • You can also refer to the EC Application specimen on T‑IGRS; certified copies of specific registered deeds (sale/gift/mortgage) are available under “Certified Copy.” (ts.meeseva.telangana.gov.in, registration.telangana.gov.in)
     
     

Quick checklist (keep these ready)

• Correct SRO name, district/mandal/village/locality
  
  

• House/Door No. or Flat/Plot/Survey No. (match how it appears in the sale deed)
  
  

• If searching by doc: Document No. and Year of Registration
  
  

• Date range (ideally 1983 → today)
  
  

Pro tips & cross‑checks

• If no results: recheck SRO jurisdiction (boundaries change), try alternate property identifiers (e.g., Flat No. vs. Plot No.), or search by Document Number if you have the latest sale deed. (registration.telangana.gov.in)
  
  

• For land due diligence, also check:
  
  

  • Prohibited Properties list on T‑IGRS. (registration.telangana.gov.in)
    
    

  • Pahani/ROR (for rural/agricultural lands) via the link on the Property‑wise Transactions page. (registration.telangana.gov.in)
    
    

• Remember: EC shows registered transactions only; unregistered claims (e.g., unregistered POAs, private agreements) won’t appear—verify with title documents and bank/NOCs as needed. (General guidance consistent with official EC purpose.) (registration.telangana.gov.in)
