CERSAI: A Complete Guide for Home Buyers & Property Owners in Mumbra


CERSAI: A Complete Guide for Home Buyers & Property Owners in Mumbra

By Gawe Realty – Your Trusted Real Estate Partner in Mumbra

Buying or selling property in Mumbra — or anywhere in India — requires proper verification to avoid legal issues and fraud. One of the most important tools for property verification today is CERSAI, an online registry used by banks, lenders, and home buyers to check if a property is already mortgaged.

As a professional real estate agent working in Mumbra, I always use CERSAI checks to ensure every property is safe, clear, and legally verified before moving forward in a deal.


What is CERSAI?

CERSAI stands for Central Registry of Securitisation Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest of India.
It is a centralized online database where banks and financial institutions register details of properties that have been taken as security for a loan (mortgage).

Why CERSAI is Important?

  • It prevents double mortgage fraud (same property pledged to multiple banks)

  • It helps buyers verify if a property is loan-free

  • It adds transparency to real estate transactions

  • It supports secure property buying and selling


Why CERSAI Matters in Mumbra Real Estate

Mumbra has a fast-growing real estate market with increasing demand for flats, resale apartments, and new projects. With this growth, the risk of fraudulent or disputed properties also increases.

At Gawe Realty, we use CERSAI to:

  • Check if the property is already mortgaged

  • Ensure there is no active loan on the property

  • Give buyers confidence before making payment

  • Provide transparent and authentic property information

This extra step helps our clients make safe and informed decisions.


How CERSAI Works

Banks and NBFCs must register all mortgages on the CERSAI portal.
When a loan is sanctioned:

  • Bank uploads borrower name, property details, loan date, and mortgage type

  • When loan is closed, bank updates the registry again

This creates a clear record that public users can search.


How Buyers and Agents Can Use CERSAI

You can check if a property has an active mortgage by doing a public search on the CERSAI website.

Steps:

  1. Visit the CERSAI portal

  2. Go to Public Search

  3. Enter property details or borrower name

  4. Pay a small fee (₹10–₹50)

  5. Download the report

What You Will See:

  • Mortgage status

  • Bank/Branch name

  • Loan type

  • Date of registration

  • Whether the mortgage is active or closed

This simple check can save buyers from big financial risks.


Documents You Should Verify Along With CERSAI

For a complete verification, always check:

  • Index II

  • 7/12 extract / Property card

  • Agreement copy

  • Society NOC

  • Encumbrance Certificate (EC)



Why Choose Gawe Realty for Property Verification?
