Dear Experts,
These days, all important property related certificate like EC, Phani, Khata (issued by a government agency/office), it is ALWAYS computer-printed and even the date and time of print is given. Also the amount collected for the issue of the document. The document always has a HOLOGRAM.
Recently, I saw an Encumbrance Certificate (EC) - Form 15 issued with official seal of a Sub-Registrar (Karnataka) But all the details of are hand-written and look like they were just copied from the sale-deed The date & time are not given. Fee collected is not mentioned. There is no Hologram also.
I get a strong impression that it is almost fake. The person who acted as a middleman, just collected some formats (perhaps downloaded) and prepared the SEAL too!
Please give your opinions.
Regards,
Harsha Vardhana R
