No stamp duty concession for women. However, effective 1 April 2025, women buying residential property valued up to ₹10 lakh get a 1% registration fee concession (3% instead of 4%). There is no stamp duty concession — only the registration fee is reduced.
The Guideline Value (வழிகாட்டு மதிப்பு) is the government-fixed minimum value for a property, used to compute stamp duty. Stamp duty is calculated on the higher of the guideline value or the actual sale consideration. Check at tnreginet.gov.in.
