When you need it

Check the Central Registry/CERSAI record during due diligence so a lender's security interest isn't missed just because it's absent from the seller's papers. Match any hit to the borrower and lender, then reconcile against release evidence — a no-hit result is not a guarantee of unencumbered title.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

No stamp duty: not an instrument under s.2(14), Stamp Act, 1899; plain paper. A ₹1 revenue stamp applies only on a receipt over ₹5,000 (s.30, Art.53, Sch.I).

Registration

CENTRAL REGISTRY CHARGE SEARCH REQUEST

Search date: 1 April 2026

Applicant: Aarav Sharma, Sector 21, Panchkula. Property: Plot 118, Sector 35-A, Chandigarh (Plot/land), Plot 118, Sector 35-A; prior deed no. 2345..

Primary search subject: Harpreet Singh. Subject type: Individual owner/borrower. Additional subjects: Naina Singh.

Purpose: Property purchase due diligence. Known security reference: Security interest registered in 2022 by ABC Bank.

Required result analysis: List all property-relevant security interests found. Matching/search note: Search both Harpreet Singh and co-owner Naina Singh.

Please record the search source/date, each property-relevant security-interest hit, apparent status shown by the search, and the lender/reference requiring follow-up.

LEGAL BASIS

A security interest created by a bank or financial institution, including an equitable mortgage by deposit of title deeds that the Sub-Registrar's registers and a Non-Encumbrance Certificate cannot show, is searched in the Central Registry of Securitisation Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest of India. The search complements the registration search and the Non-Encumbrance Certificate; it does not replace them. When a charge is repaid, the lender should confirm that it has been satisfied in the Central Registry records.
