How Stamp Duty is Calculated in Tamil Nadu

Stamp duty in Tamil Nadu is calculated on the property value or the government guideline value, whichever is higher. You cannot register a property at a price below the guideline value to save on stamp duty - the registration department will apply the guideline value automatically if the sale price is lower.

Tamil Nadu has one of the higher stamp duty rates in India at 7% stamp duty + 4% registration fee, totaling 11% on the property value. On a ₹ 50 lakh property, this means you pay ₹ 3.5 lakh as stamp duty and ₹ 2 lakh as registration fee - a total of ₹ 5.5 lakh just in taxes and charges before you complete the registration.

The exception is plot registration, where stamp duty is capped at 1% with a maximum of ₹ 4,000, regardless of the plot value. The 4% registration fee still applies on the full value. Gift deeds to immediate family members also get a reduced rate of 1% stamp duty and 1% registration fee.

After calculating the stamp duty amount, you need to purchase stamp paper of that value or make an online payment through the TNREGINET portal before your registration appointment at the Sub-Registrar Office.

After calculating the stamp duty amount, you create an e-payment application on the TNREGINET portal, make the payment, and receive a Challan receipt that you bring to the Sub-Registrar Office on the day of registration.
Gift deeds to immediate family members such as spouse, children, parents, and siblings are charged at a reduced rate of 1% stamp duty plus 1% registration fee, totaling 2% of the property value. This is significantly lower than the 11% that applies to a normal sale. The family relationship must be proved with supporting documents at the Sub-Registrar Office.
For plot registration, stamp duty is 1% of the value with a maximum cap of ₹ 4,000. So even on a ₹ 10 crore plot, the stamp duty is only ₹ 4,000. However, the 4% registration fee still applies on the full value. This means registering a ₹ 50 lakh plot attracts only ₹ 4,000 stamp duty but ₹ 2 lakh in registration fee.
