What is Stamp Duty in Tamil Nadu?
Stamp duty is a state government tax paid during property registration in Tamil Nadu. It is collected by the Tamil Nadu Registration Department through the TNREGINET portal. Stamp duty must be paid before completing your property registration, since failing to pay it can delay or invalidate the transaction.
Tamil Nadu has one of the highest stamp duty rates in India at 7%, combined with a 4% registration fee, for a total of 11% of the property value. Stamp duty is calculated on whichever is higher: the actual sale price or the government guideline value. Before paying, it is also worth checking the property's Encumbrance Certificate to rule out any prior claims that could affect your purchase.
