ECs to have landowners’ photos, copy of deed
As part of its effort to cut down fraud in property transactions, the state government has decided to include photographs of landowners and a copy of the registered sale deeds along with copies of encumbrance certificates (ECs) that can be downloaded online from anywhere in the world. The process, which will be part of the upgraded version of STAR 3.0 (Simplified and Transparent Administration of Registration) project to be introduced in a year, is aimed at eliminating ambiguity in property ownership. In the last financial year, 25,73,478 documents were registered in 575 sub-registrar offices across the state, generating a revenue of Rs 11,000 crore. Currently, ECs have details about the category of the sale deed, owners’ names, location, survey number and dimension of the property.
