Search report Fee Receipt

A Search Fee Receipt is the official proof of payment issued by a bank, registrar of companies (RoC), or sub-registrar office when a party pays fees to conduct a “search” of official records.

  • In property matters: A search fee receipt is proof that you paid to check property ownership records at the Sub-Registrar’s Office (SRO).
  • In company/firm matters: Issued when you pay the RoC for inspecting company documents (directors, charges, filings).
  • In bank loans: Banks often obtain a Search Report (from RoC or SRO) to confirm there are no existing encumbrances (loans/mortgages). The fee receipt is proof of that search request.
