What we need
One thing at a time. Fill it in and press Run.
The answer
From the register, with its date and source.
Nothing run yet. The answer appears here with everything this mini adds:
- The guide village the office files this land under, which is the name an EC search needs
- The District Registrar and DIG above the office, for an escalation or a complaint
- The encumbrance date ranges held for that village, so you know which years an EC can cover
Sub registrar offices, briefly
The registration department office where deeds for land inside its jurisdiction are registered and encumbrance certificates for that land are issued.
- Where a deed goes
- One office
A deed is registered at the office whose jurisdiction covers the property, or at the District Registrar office above it.
- The name that matters
- Guide village
The office files land under its own village name, which can differ from the revenue village on the patta. An EC search uses this name.
- The ladder
- SRO, DR, DIG
Each office sits under a District Registrar and a DIG of Registration. A refusal, a delay or a complaint goes up that ladder.
How to find which SRO covers your land
- 1
Place the pin
Tap the land on the map, paste a Google Maps link to it, or use your location while you stand there.
- 2
Press Run
The office is read from the jurisdiction map at that spot, with its contacts and the offices above it.
- 3
Check the years
The EC table shows which office held the village in which years, so an old deed is searched at the right office.
When it helps with land
Before a registration
Know which office to book the slot at, and which office's guideline value will set the stamp duty.
Before an EC search
An EC is searched at the office and under the guide village named here, not the name on the patta.
A complaint or a delay
The District Registrar and DIG above the office are listed with their phone, email and address.
The office answer says where land is registered, not who owns it or whether it is free of charges. For that, pull the encumbrance certificate and the land record.
Questions people ask
How do I know my sub registrar office?
Drop a pin on the land on the map above, paste a Google Maps link, or use your location while you stand there, then press Run. You get the office whose jurisdiction covers that spot, with its phone, email and address.
Why does a village name matter for an EC?
The registration department indexes encumbrance records by the office's own village name, which can differ from the revenue village. The guide village shown here is the one to search under.
Can I register a deed at any office in the district?
A document must be registered at the office whose jurisdiction covers the property, or at the District Registrar office above it. Some categories are allowed at any office in the state; check with the office first.
My old deed was registered at a different office. Is that wrong?
Not necessarily. Villages have moved between offices over the decades. The EC table shows which office held the village in which years.
What are the DIG and District Registrar for?
They supervise the sub registrar offices. A refusal, a delay or a complaint goes up that ladder.
I know the village name, not the spot.
Use the SRO directory mini instead. It finds the office for a village by name, and lists every office when a name is shared by villages in different districts.
Is this free?
Yes. The office lookup and the EC ranges are free.
