About Radhapuram Sub-Registrar Office

Radhapuram Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is one of the key registration offices serving property buyers, sellers, and landowners in Tirunelveli district under the Thirunelveli zone. This SRO is responsible for legally recording property transactions and maintaining registration records for its notified jurisdiction.

For land and property dealings, jurisdiction matters because the document must be registered in the correct SRO based on the property’s location (village and survey number). Radhapuram SRO covers 2 villages and manages records mapped to 1,178 total survey numbers. If your property falls within these village limits and survey numbers, Radhapuram SRO is the appropriate office for registration, Encumbrance Certificate (EC) requests, and certified copies.

Keep the following documents ready to avoid delays during property registration at Radhapuram SRO:
