Is a registered will reflectable in EC (Encumbrance Certificate) upon doing a search?

No, Registered WILL doesn’t reflect in EC (Encumbrance Certificate)

Because in sub-registrar office, WILL is stored in Book No. 3, the Book No. 3 is not meant for public record.

We highlighted the Book No. 3 in below WILL (refer to arrow mark)

Though the register WILL doesn’t reflect in EC, but we can obtain certified copy of WILL. The document number of WILL is mandatory to extract certified copy

  • If WILL registered after 2004, we can download the certified copy online. Testator ID proof is not mandatory to download online
  • If WILL registered before 2004, we should apply in sub-registrar office where the WILL was registered. Testator ID proof is mandatory to submit along with application

Note: 

  • Testator means a person who has made a WILL
  • Apart from Book No. 3,  Book No. 4 also doesn’t reflect in EC.
  • Book No. 4 meant for Power of Attorney registration. Power of attorney doesn’t reflect in EC. Just FYI

We provide assistance to extract certified copy. Please write to us pgnproperties@gmail.com
