Follow the procedure below,

• Apply for EC by completing the Form 22 application, attested copies of your address proof, property details, its title and pay the fee applicable. Fee is charged against the time period for which you are requesting the certificate for.

• Once the inspection of the property's records are done for the specified period, an EC is issued. This usually takes 15 - 30 days from the application date

• There are two forms issued for an EC. The chain of all transactions if any will be issued in Form 15. In case there have been no transactions, Form 16 which is also known as a 'Nil Encumbrance Certificate' will be provided.
