oh come on, two phirangis did an experiment and tell us that this will work.. Call me cynical, but let us approach this issue in a matter-of-factly manner:
If I need to obtain a No encumbrance certificate for a property - I would need to visit the sub registrar's office 3-4 times and there will be long waits. In order to get this done, I need to take 3-4 days off with loss of pay. Do you think my manager would oblige to take leave as and when I want to accomodate the registrar's needs?
How is RTI going to help any of this? If I pay some commission or bribe to the agent, the whole document will be delivered to my house. If one is really seeking for a solution, one should address the actual problem in the issue:
When I submit an application, I should be given an appointment or a specific date after which I can come and collect the papers. And when I come on that date, I should be able to get that document. I should not be asked to "come back after 2 days".
Such administrative policies should be enforced in Govt offices, instead of asking us to file some more papers (RTI, etc) in order to get work done by them.
Someone already heard you
. Why do you even go meet the Sub-Registrar?. You can apply for Encumbrance certificate sitting at home.www.tnreginet.net/ (see the link on right side for Encumbrance certificate link).

I am not sure of how you would get a No Encumbrance certificate though, maybe if there are no transactions then they could be treated as No Encumbrance.
