The Certificate of Encumbrance on Property is a fundamental document in Indian property law and real estate transactions, issued by authorized government authorities to provide transparency in property dealings. This certificate is essential when conducting property transactions, applying for loans, or performing legal due diligence, as it reveals any existing financial or legal obligations attached to the property. The document is particularly crucial in India's property market, where verifying clean title and understanding existing encumbrances is vital for secure transactions. It includes details of mortgages, loans, legal disputes, lease agreements, and any other registered charges against the property for a specified period. The certificate's issuance and format are governed by the Registration Act, 1908, and respective state registration rules, making it a legally recognized document for property-related matters across India.
