What is an EC Certificate?
An Encumbrance Certificate (EC) is an official document that shows the complete transaction history of a property in Tamil Nadu. It confirms whether a property has any loans, mortgages, or legal dues registered against it.
Banks, property buyers, and legal professionals use the EC certificate to verify property ownership and check if the property is free from any financial liabilities. The TNREGINET portal is the official platform by the Tamil Nadu Registration Department to access EC online.

Double check survey number, village name, and SRO details. Small spelling mistakes cause this error. Try searching with document number instead of property details.
Clear your browser cache and cookies. Use Chrome or Firefox for best results. Try again after a few minutes as the server may be busy.
Disable popup blocker in your browser settings. The EC certificate opens as a popup in some browsers. Allow popups for tnreginet.gov.in.
