# Registered Deeds by Party Name (WB Registration) (West Bengal)

Every registered deed naming a person, year by year, from the Directorate of Registration. West Bengal issues no encumbrance certificate; this list is the equivalent.

Status: LIVE. Source status: No recent runs. Typical time: up to 12 min. state: `west_bengal`, search_type: `deed_search`.



## What you get

Each deed with the party, their role, the transaction, office, deed number and dates, plus the mouza, plot, khatian and area, and one PDF with the department’s page for every year.

## Request parameters

Keys of `params`. A value "from lookup" is a code you get by searching for the item by name first (https://legiscore.in/docs/api/lookups).
