Now that you know the relevance of an Encumbrance Certificate, here is a list of information you will discover in an EC:

• Name/names of the property owner/owners
  

• Information relating to all the details of the said property
  

• Total description of any property, identical to that which exists in the property’s Deed of Sale
  

• Any transactions that have taken place with respect to a given property, in a chronological manner
  

• An EC of land in Odisha will have loan and mortgage information if applicable
  

• Concerning gift deeds made, these details will be mentioned in the EC
  

• In the event of a jointly-held property, any details of a Deed of Release will be mentioned

An Encumbrance Certificate is a must-have document, both from the point of view of a buyer and a seller of real estate. The following points illustrate why an encumbrance certificate is relevant:

• The EC has to be compulsorily provided in order to be granted a loan for the purchase of property. Banks and other financial institutions insist upon this to be assured that properties are free from any potential legal tangles.
  

• The only legal evidence of a title of ownership is the EC.
  

• As the EC is an officially acceptable document of the title of ownership of any property, it is essential to have it while the transfer of any property takes place.
  

• In the event that land or property tax remains unpaid for a period of over three years, the EC has to be updated in the records of the Land Tax Department. An EC is only issued after all taxes on any property concerned are paid and up-to-date.
  

• In case you wish to raise funds from a provident fund account, you will require an EC.
