Missing EC Data: What to Do When Data Missing on TNREGINET

If you’ve tried to download your Encumbrance Certificate (EC) from TNREGINET and some transactions aren’t showing up, you’re not alone. Many property owners face this problem. In this article, you’ll learn why transactions may be missing and exactly what you can do to fix it — step by step.

Missing EC Data: What to Do When Data Missing on TNREGINET

What Does “Missing EC Data” Mean?

When you generate an EC, it should list every transaction recorded against your property for the selected period — such as sales, mortgages, gifts, or transfers.

But sometimes:

  • Some entries are missing
  • The EC shows only a few transactions
  • Older records don’t appear
  • Some document numbers aren’t listed

Missing data doesn’t always mean the transaction didn’t happen — it often means something stopped it from appearing in the online search.

Common Reasons Transactions Are Missing

Here are the most common causes of missing data in your EC:

Common Reasons Transactions Are Missing

Incorrect Search Inputs

If you enter wrong or incomplete search details like:

  • Wrong zone or district
  • Incorrect Sub‑Registrar Office (SRO)
  • Mistyped survey number
  • Wrong date range

…the system might not show all records.

Tip: Always check the details exactly as they appear on your property deed or document.

Using Too Short a Date Range

  • Many users search EC for short periods (like 5 or 10 years). If there were older transactions, the EC won’t show them unless you include a wider date range.

Fix: Choose a longer range like 20–30 years to capture older entries.

Searching Only by One Method

TNREGINET lets you search EC in two ways:

  • Survey number search
  • Document number search

Sometimes one method may not show data that the other does.

Fix: If survey search doesn’t show results, try document number search — and vice versa.

Older Records Not Yet Digitized

Some older transactions — especially those from years before online registration — may not have been uploaded yet to the digital system.

This is common for older properties or very old deeds.

Fix: Visit your local Sub‑Registrar Office (SRO) and ask them to check the manual records for the missing entries.

Data Entry Mistakes at the Office

If the registration staff entered wrong information at the time of registration, it may not show up in the online EC.

Examples of mistakes:

  • Incorrect name spellings
  • Missing survey or document numbers
  • Wrong or incomplete date entry

Fix: Request a review or correction from the SRO.

What You Can Do When Transactions Are Missing

  • Re‑confirm the survey number

Step 2: Try Both Search Methods

  • If one search method didn’t show results, try the other:
  • Survey number search: Useful for land and rural properties.

  • Try both before moving to deeper checks.
