Certified copy of Index-2
Index-2 carries the core particulars of a registered document: description of the property transferred, the names of the executant and the claimant, and the document number. It is the fastest proof that a particular sale deed was actually registered.

What to have with you
The source names 6 things the office asks for. Take them all in one go and the visit is usually one visit.

- Document number
- Year in which the document was registered
- Total number of Index-2 copies required
- Mobile number and e-mail for OTP
- District, taluka and sub-registrar office name
Quoted from the prerequisite list in the register. Where the source names a detail rather than a document, such as a survey number, it is listed as the source words it.
The form you fill in
Offline: Form No. 3 (application for search or copy). Online: application purpose 'સબ-રજીસ્ટાર કચેરી સંબંધિત' and application type 'Index2 ની નકલ મેળવવા માટેની અરજી'.
What it costs
Quoted from the government source, in its own words:
OFFLINE (stated): court fee ticket of Rs. 3/- affixed on Form No. 3, PLUS copy fee of Rs. 20/-, PLUS a court fee ticket (stamp duty) of Rs. 300/- submitted with the form. ONLINE: application fee + Index2 fee + copy fee are auto-computed by the portal from the number of copies requested; the amounts are not printed in the help file.
No part of this figure has been rounded, converted or updated by us. If the department has revised it since 4 August 2026, the correction address is in the footer. Every published fee in the register sits on one page.
How long it takes
No timing stated. A department that does not publish a service standard cannot be held to one, which is worth knowing before you plan around a date.
Registration department SLA / turnaround times for issuing a certified copy, Index-2, EC or a completed registration are NOT PUBLISHED in any source examined. All stated_timeline values for those steps are null; only the statutory presentation window (four months) and the statutory deemed-approval periods are recorded.
What to watch out for
The register keeps a note against this step. It is the part most people find out too late, so it is printed in full rather than summarised.
ONLINE FEE AMOUNTS ARE NOT PUBLISHED in the help file - only that they are auto-generated. Not estimated.
