- Mutation certificate: An official revenue or municipal document used to update property ownership records when a property is sold, gifted, or inherited
- Encumbrance Certificate (EC): Proves the property is free of legal liability or pending bank loans.
- Commencement & Completion Certificates: Issued by local municipal authorities to verify the construction adheres to local building bylaws.
