What TNREGINET does, and where to do it when the portal will not load
Every service the portal offers, with the page on this site that gives the same answer from our own copy of the register. Registration itself, and anything that needs the department's signature, still happens on the portal or at the office.
| Service | On TNREGINET | When it is down |
|---|---|---|
| Encumbrance certificate (EC) | View EC by survey number or document number; apply for a signed copy | EC online, by survey, plot or document number, with a PDF |
| Guideline value | Street and survey number search for the revision in force | Guideline value for every street, every revision since 2002, and by survey number |
| Stamp duty and registration fee | Calculated during document registration | Stamp duty calculator for every deed type, before you book |
| Deed registration | Sign in, enter the deed, pay online, book the office appointment | Only on the portal. Prepare the duty, the EC and the guideline value here first so the booking goes through in one sitting |
| Certified copy of a registered document | Apply with the document number, year and office | Certified copy, obtained for you, with a comparison against your own copy |
| Which sub-registrar office | Know your jurisdiction, by street | Find your SRO and the page for every office with address and phone |
| Document status and search | Status of a registered or pending document | Only on the portal; the EC page shows the registered history of a property instead |
| Patta, chitta, A-register, FMB | Not on TNREGINET; these are on Tamil Nilam e-Services | Patta chitta, FMB sketch and the village map |
| Marriage, society, firm and chit fund registration | Sign in and apply under the respective registration | Only on the portal |
How to view an EC on TNREGINET
- Open tnreginet.gov.in and choose E-Services, then Encumbrance Certificate, then View EC.
- Pick the zone, district and sub-registrar office that cover the property, and the period the certificate should cover.
- Enter the survey number and sub-division, or the document number and year if you have the deed, then type the captcha and search.
- The certificate lists every registered transaction for that period. Save it as a PDF; a signed copy can be applied for from the same menu.
If the search never returns, the captcha loops or the site shows an error, the EC page here fetches the same certificate and delivers it as a PDF; it does not need the captcha and it queues the request if the department is slow.
How to check the guideline value on TNREGINET
- Open tnreginet.gov.in and choose Guideline Value from the menu.
- Choose the zone, sub-registrar office and village, then the street name, or search by survey number.
- The value shown is per square foot, metre, acre or hectare for the revision in force; stamp duty and registration fee are charged on it or on the sale price, whichever is higher.
Why TNREGINET is so often down
One system carries every registration in the state. It slows at month ends, in the days after a guideline value revision, and whenever a new scheme sends people to it at once; the captcha step times out on slow connections; and maintenance windows are unannounced. The board above records each outage as it happens, and the count under the strip is the day's honest tally. This page does not guess: a red cell means our monitor asked for the portal's page and did not get it.
TNREGINET, Tamil Nilam and TN-GIS: three portals, one property
A buyer in Tamil Nadu needs records from three departments. The Registration Department's TNREGINET holds the registered history (the EC), the guideline value and the deeds. The Revenue Department's Tamil Nilam e-Services holds who holds the land (patta and chitta) and the survey sketch (FMB). TN-GIS is the survey and map service beneath both. This site reads all three, keeps its own copies of the registers, and shows the one record you asked for even when the portal that owns it is not answering.
TNREGINET என்பது தமிழ்நாடு பதிவுத்துறையின் இணையதளம்: வில்லங்கச் சான்றிதழ் (EC), வழிகாட்டி மதிப்பு, பத்திரப் பதிவு, சான்றளிக்கப்பட்ட நகல் ஆகியவை இங்கே. அது அடிக்கடி வேலை செய்யாது. மேலே உள்ள பலகை ஐந்து நிமிடத்திற்கு ஒருமுறை அதைச் சரிபார்க்கிறது; தளம் பதிலளிக்காதபோது, அதே பதிவுகளை இந்தத் தளத்தின் EC, வழிகாட்டி மதிப்பு, பட்டா சிட்டா பக்கங்களில் பெறலாம்.
Questions people ask about TNREGINET
What is TNREGINET?
TNREGINET is the online portal of the Tamil Nadu Registration Department (the Inspector General of Registration). It is where a deed is booked for registration, where the encumbrance certificate (EC) is viewed and applied for, where the guideline value of any street is published, and where certified copies of registered documents, document status and the sub-registrar office for an address are looked up. Marriage, society, firm and chit fund registrations run through it too.
Is TNREGINET down right now?
The board at the top of this page says. Our monitors ask the portal every five minutes through the same route a visitor uses, and the board shows whether it answered, how long it took, and how many of today's checks it answered. When TNREGINET is not answering, the EC, guideline value and stamp duty pages on this site still work, because they hold their own copies of the registers.
Why does TNREGINET keep not working?
The portal carries every registration in the state on one system. It slows or fails at month ends and after a guideline value revision, when traffic peaks; the captcha step times out on slow connections; and the department takes it down for maintenance, usually at night. Most outages last minutes to a few hours. The board here records each one.
How do I view an EC on TNREGINET?
From E-Services choose Encumbrance Certificate and View EC, pick the zone, district and sub-registrar office, set the period, enter the survey number or the document number and year, type the captcha and search. The same certificate can be fetched on this site's EC page without the captcha, and it is delivered as a PDF.
How do I check the guideline value on TNREGINET?
Choose Guideline Value, then the zone, office, village and street. This site holds the same register for every street in Tamil Nadu, with every revision since 2002, on its guideline value page.
What is the difference between TNREGINET, Tamil Nilam e-Services and TN-GIS?
TNREGINET is the Registration Department: deeds, EC, guideline value, certified copies. Tamil Nilam e-Services is the Revenue Department: patta, chitta, A-register and the FMB sketch. TN-GIS is the state's survey and map service that sits behind the sketch and boundary lookups. A property check touches all three, which is why this site brings them together.
How do I book a slot to register a deed on TNREGINET?
Sign in, choose Document Registration, fill in the parties, the property and the consideration, pay the stamp duty and registration fee online, and pick an appointment at the sub-registrar office. Work out the duty first with the stamp duty calculator on this site: on a sale deed it is 7% stamp duty and 2% registration fee on the guideline value or the price, whichever is higher.
How do I get a certified copy of a sale deed from TNREGINET?
Apply under Certified Copy with the document number, year and sub-registrar office; the fee is paid online and the copy is issued by the office. This site can obtain the certified copy for you and, if you upload your own copy, compare the two.
Do I need to register on TNREGINET to view an EC or guideline value?
No. Viewing an EC and searching the guideline value are open to everyone. A sign-in is needed to apply for a signed EC, to book a registration or to apply for a certified copy.
Is there a TNREGINET app?
Yes. The Registration Department publishes a TNREGINET app on Google Play for EC search, guideline value and document status. It reads the same portal, so it is down when the portal is down.
Verified.RealEstate is not the Government of Tamil Nadu and this page is not the portal. TNREGINET belongs to the Registration Department, Government of Tamil Nadu; the status here is what our own monitors saw when they asked for its page, and the records on this site are our copies of the published registers, for reference before you rely on the department's own.
