⭐ EC Records Limit — Important!
Competitors miss this — critical warning:
Kaveri 2.0 = computerised records from April 1, 2004 onwards only। Pre-2004 transactions = NOT in digital system। Property ka purra history chahiye? = SRO office jaana hoga manual search ke liye। Home loan = bank usually 30+ years history maangta hai = SRO legacy search mandatory।
EC Types — Form 15, 16, 17, 22
4 types of EC — nobody explains in Kannada:
| Form | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Form 15 | EC with encumbrances | Property has registered charges/loans |
| Form 16 | Nil EC | No encumbrances found — property clear |
| Form 17 | Certified Copy | Copy of registered document |
| Form 22 | Index copy | Summary of registered deed |
Nil EC (Form 16) = most needed for home loans — property is clean।
