What guideline value actually means

The Tamil Nadu Registration Department publishes a per-square-foot rate for every street in the state — set per (Sub-Registrar Office, registration village, street) combination. This is the guideline value (also called guideline rate or circle rate in other states). It is an official valuation benchmark TNREGINET uses when determining the applicable market value accepted for registration. A value below the notified guideline benchmark ordinarily requires adjudication and acceptance by the District Registrar.

Guideline value vs market value in Tamil Nadu

Guideline value is the government-published minimum rate at which a property can be legally registered; market value is what buyers and sellers actually transact at, which is often higher. For registration, duties and fees apply to the applicable market value accepted under TNREGINET's valuation rules. The guideline rate is an official benchmark; the transaction price is a separate commercial figure. A value below the notified guideline benchmark ordinarily requires adjudication and acceptance by the District Registrar.

How rates are structured

Two parallel rate systems exist for every SRO, and both are covered here. Street rates cover urban and peri-urban areas with named roads — villages with street rates show the per-sqft table directly. Survey-number rates apply to rural or recently-subdivided parcels without street addresses — those villages link to their survey-number rates. Both rate systems are anchored to the same village registry, but the values can diverge — a single survey number bordering an unnamed village road may have a survey rate significantly different from the closest street's rate.

How to use these pages

  1. Pick the right SRO. The SRO is decided by the village your property sits in. If you don't know your SRO, the Tamil Nadu SRO directory has the full village-to-SRO map.
  2. Open your village page. You'll see every street under that village with its current per-sqft rate and classification.
  3. Multiply rate × area. Then apply the Tamil Nadu stamp duty rates for a standard Conveyance (Sale): 9% total — 5% stamp duty + 2% transfer duty + 2% registration fee — on the applicable market value under TNREGINET's valuation rules. TNREGINET currently groups the first two components as 7% under “Stamp Duty.”
  4. Verify on TNREGINET before signing. Rates change periodically through gazetted notifications — always confirm the live rate on the official portal before executing a sale deed.

What this record can—and cannot—answer

Tamil Nadu guideline value

Guideline value is an official registration benchmark, not an appraisal or a prediction of open-market consideration. The exact SRO, village, street or survey selection and effective date matter.

Next action: Confirm the live TNREGINET selection and effective rate, preserve the record details, and evaluate market evidence separately.

Common Questions

Guideline value
FAQ

What is the guideline value in Tamil Nadu?

The Tamil Nadu Registration Department publishes a per-square-foot rate for every street in the state, set per (Sub-Registrar Office, registration village, street) combination.

This is the guideline value — also called the guideline rate, or the circle rate in other states. It is the official valuation benchmark TNREGINET uses when determining the applicable market value accepted for registration under its valuation rules.

How is guideline value different from market value?

Guideline value is the government-published minimum rate at which a property can be legally registered. Market value is what buyers and sellers actually transact at, which is often higher.

For registration, duties and fees apply to the applicable market value accepted under TNREGINET's valuation rules. The guideline rate is an official valuation benchmark; the transaction price is a separate commercial figure.

Can I register a property below the guideline value?

A value below the notified guideline benchmark ordinarily requires adjudication and acceptance by the District Registrar rather than automatic registration.

Duties and fees apply to the market value accepted for registration under TNREGINET's valuation rules, so confirm the live valuation before paying.

How often does Tamil Nadu revise guideline values?

Guideline values are revised periodically through gazetted notifications by the Tamil Nadu Registration Department. There is no fixed cadence — revisions happen when the state government issues a notification covering specific SROs or the entire state.

Always confirm the live rate on the TNREGINET portal before executing a sale deed.

What stamp duty and registration fees apply on top of the guideline value?

A standard Tamil Nadu Conveyance (Sale) attracts 9% total on the applicable market value under TNREGINET's valuation rules — 5% stamp duty + 2% transfer duty + 2% registration fee.

TNREGINET currently groups the 5% stamp-duty and 2% transfer-duty components together as 7% under “Stamp Duty.” Instrument-specific rates and notified concessions can differ.

Where do I check the official rate before signing?

The authoritative source is the Tamil Nadu Registration Department portal at tnreginet.gov.in.

The Proquiro guideline-value lookup mirrors per-street rates across SROs and villages for fast comparison, but the live TNREGINET rate is what governs your stamp duty calculation on the day of registration.

What's the difference between street rate and survey-number rate?

Two parallel rate systems exist for every SRO. Street rates cover urban and peri-urban areas with named roads. Survey-number rates apply to rural or recently-subdivided parcels without street addresses, and live on TNREGINET under the survey-rate search.

Both anchor to the same village registry, but the values can diverge — a survey number bordering an unnamed village road may have a rate significantly different from the closest named street.
