Cersai Registration

Your trusted partner for secured transaction registration — enabling seamless CERSAI registration, charge filing, and compliance for financial institutions.

Overview

CERSAI (Central Registry of Securitisation Asset Reconstruction and Security Interest of India) is a central registry that records security interests created on movable and immovable assets, charges created by lenders, and securitisation and asset reconstruction transactions.

Established under the SARFAESI Act, 2002, CERSAI plays a critical role in preventing multiple financing against the same asset and fraudulent lending practices. Registration on CERSAI is mandatory for all secured lenders including NBFCs, banks, and financial institutions to ensure legal enforceability of their charges.
