Frequently Asked Questions
What is the stamp duty for property registration in Chennai in 2026?
Stamp duty in Tamil Nadu is 7% and the registration fee is 4% — total 11% — calculated on the higher of the sale consideration or the government guideline value. For gift, settlement and partition within family, concessional stamp duty (₹1 for every ₹100) applies subject to conditions.
How long does property registration take in Chennai?
Once documents and stamp-duty payment are ready, physical registration at the SRO takes a few hours the same day. Updated EC is available on TNREGINET within 7–10 working days; patta transfer takes 15–30 days.
Do I need a lawyer for property registration in Chennai?
You are not legally required to engage a lawyer, but Advocate Sharulatha strongly recommends title due-diligence and lawyer-drafted deeds — a small drafting mistake or a missed encumbrance can cost lakhs. Our fixed fee includes drafting, verification and SRO attendance.
Where are the main Sub-Registrar Offices in Chennai?
Chennai has several SROs — Mambalam, T. Nagar, Anna Nagar, Guindy, Mylapore, Adyar, Tambaram, Ambattur, Perambur, Purasawalkam. Registration must be done at the SRO having territorial jurisdiction over the property location.
Is TDS applicable on property purchase in Chennai?
Yes. Under Section 194-IA, the buyer must deduct 1% TDS if the property consideration is ₹50 lakh or more (for a resident seller) and file Form 26QB within 30 days. For NRI sellers, higher TDS under Section 195 applies — we handle the Form 27Q filing.
Can property be registered in Chennai through Power of Attorney?
Yes. A registered General Power of Attorney (GPA) is required if the seller / buyer is abroad or unable to attend. For NRI sellers, the POA must be executed at the Indian Consulate and adjudicated in India before use.
