Why you need it

When you need it

An official record of an encumbrance search result for a defined property/period, where the authority provides it. States property, period, owner names, purpose, source. Forms vary by office — don't assume a uniform certificate. A negative result is limited to the authority's own records/period; unregistered agreements, possession claims, litigation or a lender charge may not show.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

No stamp duty — an NEC application isn't an instrument under s.2(14), Stamp Act 1899, Punjab/Chandigarh. Punjab's counter asks a Rs 1.25 court-fee label; Chandigarh's Sub-Registrar (30 Bays Building) charges its own inspection fee.

Registration

Not registrable — a s.57 application; presented, not registered.

Notarisation

Not required, unless the authority asks for an affidavit.

Witnesses

Not required; identity and the authority's own verification process matter more.

LEGAL BASIS

In Punjab a Non-Encumbrance Certificate is applied for through the Non-Encumbrance Certificate Issuance System on rcms.punjab.gov.in, over the counter at the Sub-Registrar's office, or through a Sewa Kendra; its issue is a notified service under the Punjab Transparency and Accountability in Delivery of Public Services Act, 2018, with a limit of three days, a first appeal to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate and a second appeal to the Deputy Commissioner. It is a certified statement of what the registers of that office, including Book No. 1 and the index of properties kept under section 55 of the Registration Act, 1908, disclose for the property and the period searched. It cannot report an equitable mortgage created by deposit of title deeds, an unregistered agreement, an oral or family partition, a tenant in possession or a statutory first charge, and a registered lis pendens is the only litigation it will show, so run the property-under-litigation search on the same portal as well. Chandigarh has no notified Non-Encumbrance Certificate service, but the Registration Act, 1908 applies there: the Sub-Registrar at the 30 Bays Building, Ground Floor, Sector 17 keeps Book No. 1 and the index of properties under section 55, and section 57 entitles any person to inspect them and obtain copies. The searches that decide a Chandigarh title are Know Your Property and Know Your Dues on estateoffice.chd.gov.in and a No Dues Certificate from the Estate Office.
