When applying for an online Encumbrance Certificate (EC) in Karnataka, you may see multiple unrelated transactions in your search results. This usually happens due to similarity in property descriptions.
Example:
Let’s say your apartment number is 001 in Kaikondrahalli Village, Bangalore.
If you search the EC using only “Apartment No. 001, Kaikondrahalli Village,” the system may display 30 results, because several properties are registered under the same apartment number in that locality.
