It ensures that ownership and property transactions are legally recorded and transparent. The Government of Andhra Pradesh has developed the IGRS AP online portal to make these services digitally accessible. Citizens can obtain Encumbrance Certificates, certified copies of registered documents, calculate stamp duty, and file grievances without visiting a government office.

An Encumbrance Certificate (EC) is a legal document that confirms whether a property is free from financial liabilities or legal complications. It shows all registered transactions against a property — including mortgages, sales, and charges.

When you need an EC

• When buying or selling a property
• When applying for a home loan
• For official government property services
• When withdrawing Provident Fund money to buy land

What an EC can reveal

• Unpaid loans or mortgages on the property
• Legal disputes or ownership claims
• Any financial burden or restriction attached to the property

A nil encumbrance (Form 16 EC) confirms the property is clear. An EC listing encumbrances (Form 15 EC) means existing debts or legal restrictions are attached.

2. Click on 'EC, CC & MV Assistance' on the homepage.
3. Choose 'EC For Information Only' (no login needed) or 'Signed EC' (login required).
4. On the EC Search page, fill in: Encumbrance Type, Document Number, Year of Registration, and Registered SRO Office.

Processing typically takes 7 to 15 working days depending on workload and verification requirements.
