Pammal SRO

About Pammal Sub-Registrar Office

The Pammal Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is a key property registration authority for residents and property owners in and around Pammal, functioning under the Registration Department of Tamil Nadu. Administratively, this SRO falls within the Chennai district and comes under the Chengalpattu zone. If you are buying, selling, gifting, or leasing property within its limits, your documents must be registered at this office to ensure legal validity and enforceability.

Pammal SRO has jurisdiction over 1 village and covers a total of 302 survey numbers. Knowing the correct survey number and jurisdiction is important because guideline value checks, stamp duty calculation, and registration acceptance depend on whether the property lies within the correct SRO boundary.

Carry original documents and sufficient photocopies. Missing documents can delay registration or lead to rescheduling.

• Sale deed / title documents (draft sale deed to be registered, along with supporting title papers)
• ID proofs of buyer and seller: Aadhaar and PAN (recommended to carry both originals)
• Photographs of buyer and seller (passport-size, as required)
• Encumbrance Certificate (EC) for the relevant period to confirm lien/charge history
• Patta copy (or relevant revenue record supporting ownership)
• Property tax receipts (latest paid receipts to support possession/assessment details)
• Previous sale deeds (chain of title) to establish continuity of ownership

Registration Process at Pammal SRO

1. Check guideline value for your survey number

2. Calculate stamp duty (7%) and registration fee (2%)

   Estimate charges based on the consideration value and/or guideline value (whichever is applicable as per rules). Keep additional funds for incidental charges, if any.

6. Biometric verification and document scanning
