Tamil Nadu Stamp Duty on Rent Agreements - 2026 Rates

Tamil Nadu follows the Article 35 estimate flow rather than a flat percentage shortcut. Prorently keeps the calculation aligned to the shared stamp engine and directs you to TNREGINET for the final purchase step.

Draft free, pay only when you sign

Create the agreement draft first and only pay the platform fee when you move to signing.

Stamp still paid on the official portal

Built for Aadhaar eSign

Once the stamp is purchased, both parties can complete the agreement through the digital signing workflow.
