Tamil Nadu Stamp Duty & Registration Calculator

Tamil Nadu charges a flat stamp duty of 7% of the property's guideline value or market value (whichever is higher), plus a 4% registration fee — one of the highest combined property-transaction levies in India. The rates apply uniformly across the state, including Chennai.

The 7% stamp duty and the 4% registration fee are calculated independently on the full property value and added together, making the combined effective cost 11% before any other charges.

This calculator applies Tamil Nadu's flat 7% stamp duty and the 4% registration fee — modelled as a surcharge — to the property value you enter, as published by the Inspector General of Registration, Tamil Nadu (TNREGINET).

Tamil Nadu does not currently offer a gender-based stamp duty concession. Certain categories of property transfer (gifts between close relatives, government housing schemes) may attract reduced registration charges — consult your local sub-registrar.

Rates reflect the schedule effective April 2024. Tamil Nadu's stamp duty has remained at 7% for several years; the 4% registration fee is among the highest in India.

Guideline value: the Tamil Nadu government's minimum property valuation for stamp duty purposes, set locality-by-locality and revised periodically. TNREGINET: the Tamil Nadu Registration Internet portal for online property registration.
