EC & Patta Chitta & GV

An Encumbrance Certificate helps you check the ownership history of a property and whether there are any legal or financial liabilities attached to it.

Three critical property documents

Understanding these documents helps you evaluate a property with confidence before you commit.

  • Encumbrance Certificate (EC) — verifies ownership history and any liabilities on the property.
  • Patta & Chitta — Tamil Nadu land ownership and classification records.
  • Guideline Value (GV) — the government-set minimum valuation used to calculate stamp duty and registration charges.
