How to view EC on TNREGINET
Go to tnreginet.gov.in/portal and switch to English if needed.
Choose E-Services, then Encumbrance Certificate, then the option to view EC details.
Use EC search when you know property details. Use document-wise search when you know document number/year/SRO.
Select Zone, District, Sub-Registrar Office, Village, Survey Number/Subdivision and the search period.
Check sale deeds, settlement deeds, mortgages, releases and any other registered entries.
Save the EC result and compare it with the owner name, survey number and sale deed chain.
Keep these details ready
- District and Sub-Registrar Office
- Village or registration village
- Survey number and subdivision number
- Search period, for example 13 years or 30 years depending on due diligence need
- Optional: document number, registration year and SRO if you are checking a specific deed
An EC only shows registered transactions for the selected period and details entered. If the survey number or SRO is wrong, the result can be misleading.
