Buying property is a major milestone—but the registration process can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time buyers. If you’re purchasing land or a home in Tamil Nadu, understanding the legal steps involved can save you both time and money.
At Saii Paradise Property Consultant, we simplify this process for you. Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to registering property in Tamil Nadu.
Step 1: Verify the Documents
Before registration, ensure all property documents are in order:
- Sale deed/draft agreement
- Encumbrance certificate (shows legal clearance)
- Patta, Chitta, or Adangal (land records)
- Property tax receipts
Saii Tip: Always cross-check if the seller has the legal right to sell the property.
Step 2: Calculate the Stamp Duty & Registration Charges
In Tamil Nadu, you must pay:
- Stamp Duty: 7% of the property’s market value
- Registration Fee: 4% of the property’s market value
Example: For a property worth ₹20 lakhs, total cost = ₹2.2 lakhs
Step 3: Prepare the Sale Deed
The sale deed is a legal document drafted on a stamp paper, stating the terms of the sale. It should be prepared by a legal expert or registered document writer.
Include:
- Buyer and seller details
- Property description
- Sale amount and payment details
Step 4: Visit the Sub-Registrar Office
Both parties (buyer & seller) must visit the local Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) with:
- Signed sale deed
- Original documents
- Identity & address proofs
- Photographs of buyer, seller, and witnesses
Note: For Tirupur properties, go to the nearest SRO based on your property location.
Step 5: Complete Biometric & Photo Verification
During registration, fingerprints and photographs are taken of the buyer, seller, and two witnesses. This ensures authenticity.
Step 6: Collect the Registered Document
After registration, the documents are digitally processed. You’ll receive:
- A registered copy of the sale deed
- EC (updated Encumbrance Certificate)
- Online access to documents through TNREGINET portal
