What Documents Should You Collect from the Sub-Registrar’s Office After Property Registration in Karnataka?

Once your property is registered at the Sub-Registrar’s Office in Karnataka, it’s essential to collect certain documents that confirm legal ownership and payment of government charges.

Here’s what you will receive:

  1. Registered Sale Deed

The Registered Sale Deed is the primary proof of ownership. After registration, the Sub-Registrar stamps it with the official seal, signs it, and scans it for the government’s digital records.

Example:
We recently registered a Sale Deed at the Basavanagudi Sub-Registrar’s Office in Bangalore. The registered deed was handed over immediately after completing the process.

  1. Receipt (Stamp Duty & Registration Fee)

This official receipt confirms the payment of stamp duty, registration charges, and applicable surcharges. It typically contains:

  • Document number
  • Registration date
  • Amounts paid for stamp duty and registration fee

Example of receipt:

  1. SMS Confirmation

Once the registration is complete, the Sub-Registrar’s Office sends an SMS confirming that your deed is registered. This message includes the registration number

Example of SMS confirmation:

  1. Encumbrance Certificate (EC)

Earlier, the EC was provided directly by the Sub-Registrar’s Office to verify property transfer.
Now, with Kaveri Online Services, you can download the EC yourself immediately after registration. This document shows your name as the new owner and confirms the property’s legal status.

Example of downloaded EC:
