Encumbrance Certificate in Andhra Pradesh
An Encumbrance Certificate is a mandatory legal document that you require when you are buying or purchasing a property. An EC ensures that the property can be sold with a clear title and the property does not have any monetary issues such as unpaid dues or any legal litigation issues. An Encumbrance Certificate consists of all of the monetary transactions made during the duration of ownership of property and also acts as proof of rightful ownership of that property. An EC is required when applying for a loan from any bank or financial institute as it helps them establish that the property is already mortgaged.
