Property documents from Government

After getting the sale deed documents from the seller, it was now our turn to see how we can get the other documents from the other governmental agencies to ensure that the property has been successfully transferred to the name of the Trust (Sri Lakshmi Nrsimmar Guru Raghavendra Trust). After getting an appointment with the sub-registrar office of the Vembakkam sub-registrar, I had driven down today and applied for the EC (Encumberance Certificate) for the last 20 years. On the way to the sub-registrar office, on sustained pleading from my parents, I had also gone and visited the Ulagalandaperumal temple in kanchipuram. I had excellent darshan of the Trivikramar and it was a solo audience in the temple at that time. The darshan itself indicated that the activities are going to go smoothly today.

After filling in the forms for the application in the sub-registrar office, I was told that that since this specific office was closed down in the middle for some years, I should also go to the Dusi sub-registrar office for that period of time and get the EC from there. After paying the required fees for the same in Vembakkam office, I drove down to the sub-registrar office at Dusi village to get the EC done for the intermediate period of time. After completing the formalities there, I successfully got the EC documents from both the offices for the duration of the last 20 years and was told that there was nil encumberance.

By the grace of Rayar, having been successful in the mission of getting the EC papers from the relevant governmental department, I had to go to another government office - Taluk office in Cheyyar - for obtaining what is called as "Patta" document. This office was around 30 kms from this location and I drove down there to hand over the required documents. The surveyor wanted to take the location of the property easily and so, I had taken the property surveyor along with me to show him the place. I was told that in a week to 10 days, this Patta document would also be ready that will show the property in the name of the Trust as per VAO/Govt. records.
