What registration costs, briefly
Stamp duty is the tax the state collects on a document such as a sale deed. The registration fee is a separate charge for registering it at the Sub-Registrar office. In Tamil Nadu both depend on the deed type and the value it is charged on.
- Sale deed
- 7% + 2%
Seven percent stamp duty and two percent registration fee, on the higher of the price and the guideline value.
- Family settlement
- 1% + 1%
A settlement in favour of a family member pays 1% stamp duty up to Rs 40,000 and 1% registration fee up to Rs 10,000.
- New flat from the builder
- 4% to 7%
A first sale flat pays 4% below Rs 50 lakh, 5% from Rs 50 lakh to Rs 3 crore and 7% above, plus 2% registration fee.

When it helps with land
Before you pay an advance
Know the full registration cost of a purchase before the agreement is signed, so the budget holds.
Moving property in the family
A gift is charged like a sale, a settlement to family is capped. Seeing both figures shows why the deed type matters.
Loans and leases
A home loan, a mortgage or a long lease each has its own row and cap, all worked out the same way.
The figures cover stamp duty and the registration fee on the value you enter, nothing else. The Sub-Registrar fixes the final demand on the higher of the price and the guideline value, so check the guideline value of the parcel first.
Questions people ask
What are the stamp duty and registration charges in Tamil Nadu?
For a sale deed, 7% stamp duty and 2% registration fee, 9% in all, on the market value, meaning the higher of the price paid and the guideline value. On a property valued at Rs 50 lakh that is Rs 3,50,000 stamp duty and Rs 1,00,000 registration fee.
Is a gift or settlement to a family member cheaper?
A settlement in favour of a family member is: 1% stamp duty capped at Rs 40,000 and 1% registration fee capped at Rs 10,000. A gift is charged like a sale, 7% plus 2%, whoever receives it. The mini applies the right row when you pick the deed type.
Is the fee charged on the price I paid or the guideline value?
On whichever is higher. Use the Guideline value mini to get the rate for the parcel and multiply it by the extent.
How is a partition among family members charged when the shares are unequal?
Share by share. Each share pays 1% stamp duty up to Rs 40,000 and 1% registration fee up to Rs 10,000, on its own value, so a small share pays 1% of itself and a large one pays the cap. Enter each share's value to see the working.
Is the registration fee lower for women?
On a sale, yes, within a limit. From 1 April 2025 the registration fee is 1% instead of 2% when every buyer is a woman and the property is valued up to Rs 10 lakh (G.O.(Ms) No.77 of 29 March 2025). Stamp duty is the same for everyone. The mini shows the standard fee and mentions the concession beside a sale.
