What is the portal
EC View is a service on TNREGINET, the official online portal of the Registration Department, Government of Tamil Nadu.

Step-by-step
-
Open the official TNREGINET portal — Go to https://tnreginet.gov.in/, the official Registration Department, Government of Tamil Nadu portal. The page footer states that content is owned by the Registration Department, Government of Tamil Nadu.
-
Open the EC view service — Use the official menu path eServices > Encumbrance Certificate > View EC, or use the Quick Search label Search/View EC shown on the homepage.
-
Use the View/Download EC card — The TNREGINET homepage has a service card labelled 'View/Download Encumbrance Certificate @ Free of Cost'. Use that official service for EC view/download; do not assume other TNREGINET services are free.
-
Enter the property search details requested by the live EC screen — Use exact jurisdiction/sub-registrar, village, survey or property details, period and other fields required by the EC view page. Match entries with the registered deed or previous EC.
-
Check the captcha or login prompt — TNREGINET shows login and user-registration areas for registered services. If the EC screen asks for captcha, login or registration, follow only the live official portal prompt.
-
View or download the EC output — After the portal displays the EC result, use the official view/download option. Save the search details and output for due diligence.
-
Use help resources for errors — TNREGINET displays Help, User Manual, Help Videos and FAQ links, as well as helpline numbers for complaints and software queries. Use these official channels if EC view fails.
How to download
- Open TNREGINET and choose View EC/Search/View EC.
- Enter the property details and period required by the official EC page.
- Complete captcha, login or verification if the live page asks for it.
- Use the official view/download control for the EC output.
- For certified copies, use the separate Certified Copy service rather than the EC View service.
Check ownership / encumbrance
Use EC View to check registered encumbrances for the property and period selected. Match the EC with the current sale deed, parent deeds, patta/revenue records, tax receipts and legal due diligence. EC View is an encumbrance search; it is not a standalone proof of clear title.
