Amendment to the Table of Fees under the Registration Act, 1908
The Commercial Taxes and Registration Department, through G.O.Ms. No.87 dated 13th June 2025, records an amendment made by the Governor of Tamil Nadu to the Table of Fees under the Registration Act, 1908. It replaces “Rupees four” with “Rupees two” in one specified fee entry, with effect from 13th June 2025.
What the notification changes
The Commercial Taxes and Registration Department notification under G.O.Ms. No.87, dated 13th June 2025, changes one amount in the Table of Fees under the Registration Act, 1908. The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendment using the power conferred by that Act.
The change is limited to a specific part of the Table of Fees:
- Article 1.
- Clause (a).
- Sub-clause (11).
- Item (ii).
- Sub-item (c).
- The fourth proviso.
In that location, the words “Rupees four” are replaced with “Rupees two”. The notification does not reproduce the full fee entry or explain the particular registration service, document or transaction covered by it.
When the change applies
G.O.Ms. No.87 of the Commercial Taxes and Registration Department states that the amendment comes into force on 13th June 2025. The Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary containing the notification was also published on 13th June 2025.
The amended Table of Fees was originally published through the erstwhile Judicial Department Notification No.177, dated 30th March 1909, in Part I of the Fort St. George Gazette. That table had already been amended subsequently, and this notification makes a further amendment to the specified entry.
Who may be affected
The amendment may affect a person who is required to pay the fee covered by the identified provision in the Table of Fees under the Registration Act, 1908. This can include a property buyer, owner or professional only if their registration matter falls within that exact fee entry.
The notification does not identify the covered service in plain terms. It also does not change every registration fee. A reader should therefore check whether the relevant transaction is governed by Article 1, clause (a), sub-clause (11), item (ii), sub-item (c), fourth proviso before treating the reduced amount as applicable.
