What is the portal
Kaveri 2.0 is the updated web-based citizen services system of the Department of Stamps and Registration, Government of Karnataka. It is the official portal for registration-department services such as encumbrance certificate, certified copy and document-registration workflows. It should not be confused with Karnataka Bhoomi/RTC land-revenue records. Use Kaveri for registered deeds and encumbrance history; use the land-revenue portal for RTC or Record of Rights.
How to download
- Submit the appropriate EC or certified-copy application through the Kaveri workflow.
- Track the application from the same login used to submit it where the service requires login.
- If the portal asks for payment or officer verification, complete only the steps shown on the official portal.
- Download the digitally signed EC or certified copy only after the portal makes the signed document available.
- Use the official guest EC verification page to verify an EC where the portal provides verification details.
Check ownership / encumbrance
For ownership due diligence, use the EC to review registered transactions and encumbrances for the chosen period, and use the certified copy to inspect the underlying registered deed. An EC alone is not the same as a complete title opinion. Match the EC against the sale deed, mutation/khata/RTC records, tax receipts and court/litigation checks before purchase.

No. Kaveri is a registration-department portal for registered documents, encumbrance certificates and certified copies. Karnataka RTC or revenue Record of Rights searches are handled through land-revenue systems such as Bhoomi, not through Kaveri.
The Karnataka registration department maintains a separate official FAQ/service page for EC before 01-04-2004. The official guidance says the citizen starts a new application after login and selects the EC option. Follow the live portal prompts because older searches may need different inputs or verification.
The official Karnataka registration FAQ describes Form 15 as an Encumbrance Certificate and Form 16 as Nil EC for searches made on the basis of property details.
Kaveri provides an official guest EC verification page. Downloading or applying for records may still require login or application steps, so do not treat verification access as a substitute for the full service workflow.
Recheck the registration year/date, SRO, property identifiers and spelling. If the property has older documents, use the before-01-04-2004 route where applicable. For unresolved cases, contact the Kaveri help line or the Karnataka registration department.
This guide does not list a fee amount because fees can vary by service and portal workflow. Use only the amount shown by the official Kaveri payment page or the registration department’s current fee instructions.
