This rate is known by various names, such as circle rate, guideline value, ready reckoner rate, etc. In Tamil Nadu, it is known as the TN guideline value or guideline value. In Tamil Nadu, the TNREGINET portal allows individuals to check the TNREGINET guideline value or Tamil Nadu guideline value.

The purpose of the TNREGINET portal is to eliminate the difficulty of visiting the Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) and expedite the property transfer and registration process.

What is TNREGINET?

Tamil Nadu guideline value 2024

The guideline value is the minimum value of a property in a particular area, as listed by the Tamil Nadu state government. It is essential to know the guideline value to calculate the fees and duties payable in Tamil Nadu by a property owner. Guideline value is the minimum value of a property, as fixed by the state government, at which the property can be registered. According to the government records (Tamil Nadu Registration Department), guideline value means the estimated market value of the land at which it can be registered. It ideally reflects the property’s actual market value.

If the property is sold at a value higher than the guideline value, the registration of the property will be based on the higher value. However, if the property is sold below the guideline value, the buyer should pay registration charges and stamp duty based on the minimum value. 

The Tamil Nadu government fixes the guideline value for each area in the state. The guideline values are based on the streets for well-developed residential areas. The guideline value is fixed based on the survey number of the property for lands/properties that have not been formed into streets.
