TNREGINET & e-Services: EC View, Patta Chitta, FMB and Login

What Is TNREGINET?

TNREGINET is the official website of the Tamil Nadu Registration Department, the government office that registers property documents under the Registration Act 1908, along with marriages, societies, firms and chit funds under their own laws. It also issues the Encumbrance Certificate (EC) and publishes the guideline value of land. Registration itself happens at Sub-Registrar Offices (SROs) across the state, and the portal handles the online part.

TNREGINET Full Form and Official Website

The portal does not print an official full form; the name simply joins TN, Registration and Net, and the helpdesk still uses the older tnreginet.net address. The TNREGINET official website and portal is tnreginet.gov.in. Sites with similar names, including this one, are private guides and cannot register documents or issue certificates.

TNREGINET Services List

TNREGINET services fall into three groups: searches anyone can do without login, applications that need a login, and registrations that end at the Sub-Registrar Office. This table lists each service and where our detailed guide sits.

Services That Are Not on TNREGINET

Several land and civil records come from other departments. Going to the right portal saves time.

TNREGINET Login and New User Registration

You need a free TNREGINET account to create documents, apply for EC or certified copies and track applications. User registration takes about five minutes and needs a mobile number for the OTP. Guideline value search, jurisdiction search and building value calculation work without login.

1. Open tnreginet.gov.in and click Login, then User Registration.
2. Choose your user type, such as Citizen, Document Writer or Advocate.
3. Enter your name, address, mobile number and email ID.

TNREGINET login in Tamil and TNREGINET login in English use the same username and password, and the website login on mobile browsers works the same way.

Forgot TNREGINET Username or Password

Click Forgot Password on the login page and reset it with your registered mobile number or email ID. If the OTP does not arrive or the user registration is not working, email [email protected] with your name and registered mobile number.

TNREGINET EC View Online

The TNREGINET EC view, often searched as EC TNREGINET, lets you see every registered sale, mortgage and release on a property for the period you choose. Viewing TNREGINET EC online is free; you pay only when you apply for a digitally signed EC for a bank or court. You can search by survey number or by document number.

TNREGINET EC View Steps

1. Open tnreginet.gov.in and choose the free EC search service.
2. Open Encumbrance Certificate and click Search / View EC.
3. Choose EC search by survey number, or Document-wise search by document number and year.
4. Select the zone, district, Sub-Registrar Office, village, and EC start and end dates.
5. Enter the survey and subdivision number, type the captcha and click Search.
6. The EC opens on screen, and you can save the view as a PDF.

The TNREGINET View EC page works in English and Tamil, so you can switch to the TNREGINET EC view English version before searching.

Digitally Signed EC: Apply and Download

For loans, registration or court use, you need a digitally signed TNREGINET online EC. Apply under Create Application, then Encumbrance Certificate, pay the fee online and track the request under Know Your Application Status. Once the SRO signs it, the EC document download appears in your account.

The TNREGINET app also offers EC search, so EC view online on the Tamil Nadu app works on a phone. Our EC guide covers fees, EC before 1975, the Tamil villangam certificate and how to read every column. Read the complete EC View Online guide →

Patta Chitta: TNREGINET vs TN eServices

TNREGINET does not issue patta. Many people search for TNREGINET patta or TNREGINET patta chitta online, but patta, chitta, A-Register and FMB come from the Revenue Department on TN eServices (eservices.tn.gov.in). TNREGINET only shows registered documents, EC and guideline value for the same land.

There is no TNREGINET online patta service. To view patta online, open TN eServices, click View Patta & FMB / Chitta / TSLR Extract, select district, taluk and village, and enter the patta or survey number. Our Patta Chitta guide covers rural and urban (TSLR) land, verification and old owner records.

A-Register Extract Online

The A-Register is the village land register showing the survey number, land classification, extent and recorded holder. Searches for TNREGINET A-Register lead to the same place: View A-Register Extract on TN eServices, free and without login.

Find Land Details Using Survey Number

The survey number is the key for every land record in Tamil Nadu. With the district, taluk, village and survey number, you can pull these records online:

If you do not know the survey number, check the sale deed, an old patta or the property tax receipt, or ask the Village Administrative Officer (VAO).

TNREGINET Guideline Value

Guideline value is the minimum value the government fixes for land in each street or survey number. Stamp duty and registration fee are charged on the guideline value or the sale price, whichever is higher. You can check it on TNREGINET without login.

1. Open tnreginet.gov.in and click Guideline Value.
2. Select the zone, district, Sub-Registrar Office and village.
3. Search by street name or by survey number.
4. Read the value per square foot (streets) or per hectare (survey land).

Flats use a composite value that covers land and building together. Our guideline value guide has district-wise tables and the rules for registering below guideline value.

Stamp Duty and Registration Fees in Tamil Nadu

Stamp duty is levied under the Indian Stamp Act 1899, and the registration fee under the Registration Act 1908. The common rates are below; the TNREGINET "Verify Stamp Duty Calculation" tool shows the exact amount for your document.

Property Registration on TNREGINET

TNREGINET online registration covers the paperwork of a sale deed, gift, settlement or mortgage: you draft the document, pay stamp duty and book a token online, then finish at the Sub-Registrar Office. For new flats and plots, STAR 3.0 now allows registration without visiting the SRO (see the next section).

Steps for Tamil Nadu Land Registration Online

1. Log in and open Create Application, then Create Document.
2. Choose the document type, such as sale deed, gift, settlement or mortgage.
3. Enter the property details, including survey number, extent and boundaries.
4. Add the parties and two witnesses, then check the draft document summary.
5. Pay stamp duty and registration fee online.
6. Book a token for your SRO.
7. Visit the SRO on the token date with the parties, witnesses and original documents. Aadhaar authentication, biometric fingerprints and photographs are taken there.
8. After registration, download the registered document from your account.

TNREGINET Token Booking and Token Availability

A TNREGINET appointment, called a token, is your time slot at the Sub-Registrar Office. You book it online after the draft is ready. A single SRO issues about 100 online tokens a day, two-SRO offices about 200, and busy offices also have a small tatkal quota.

On auspicious days the department adds extra tokens; for Avani Avittam on 27 August 2026, single SROs went up to 150. Check TNREGINET token availability in the app before you book.

TNREGINET Online Payment

Stamp duty and registration fee can be paid online on the portal through net banking, UPI, debit or credit cards, with no upper limit. At the SRO, demand drafts are accepted only up to ₹5,000 and card payments on the PoS machine only up to ₹1,000, so pay large amounts online. Under STAR 3.0, SROs also accept QR code payments instead of cash.

TNREGINET Working Days

Sub-Registrar Offices work on government working days, with extra tokens on popular registration days. Online applications under STAR 3.0 can be submitted any day, including weekends.

STAR 3.0: New TNREGINET Portal and Presenceless Registration

STAR 3.0 is the new version of the Registration Department's software, rolled out in January 2026. STAR stands for Simplified and Transparent Administration of Registration, a system that began in 2000 as a pilot in 16 SROs. The TNREGINET new portal under STAR 3.0 adds presenceless and paperless registration, faster certified copies and WhatsApp updates.

What Changed with STAR 3.0

Online Property Registration Under STAR 3.0: Five Steps

In August 2026, the department opened a five-step online registration for new homes, plots, home loan deposit of title deeds, mortgages and loan closure receipts:

1. Create an account, draft the deed and choose a registration point with fingerprint, iris and webcam facilities, such as a builder's office.
2. Submit the draft from My Documents, complete Aadhaar authentication and give fingerprints, photograph and iris scan.
3. Pay stamp duty and registration fee online.
4. Give online consent to submit the document.
5. The Sub-Registrar checks it within 24 hours, signs it digitally, and you download the registered deed.

No token or queue is needed for this route.

TNREGINET New Portal 3.0 Login

There is no separate TNREGINET new website for STAR 3.0. The TNREGINET new portal 3.0 login uses the same tnreginet.gov.in address and your existing username and password.

Certified Copy, Sale Deed Download and Document Search

A certified copy is an official copy of a registered document, such as a sale deed, issued by the SRO where it was registered. On TNREGINET you apply online and download a digitally signed copy, which banks and courts accept. Since STAR 3.0, most certified copies are issued within minutes.

How to Get a TNREGINET Certified Copy Online

1. Log in and open Create Application, then Certified Copy.
2. Select the Sub-Registrar Office and enter the document number and year.
3. Pay the fee online and submit.
4. Open Know Your Application Status, then Certified Copy.
5. Click Download to finish the TNREGINET document copy download as a PDF.

The TNREGINET copy of document online service is the only official route; a scanned copy from an agent has no legal value. A TNREGINET sale deed download from My Documents works only for deeds you registered through your own account, so for older deeds apply for a certified copy.

TNREGINET Document Search

The document search on TNREGINET and in the app finds registered marriages, societies, partnership firms, chit funds, document writers and stamp vendors. A full sale deed is not shown in a free search; you need a certified copy for that.

TNREGINET Application Status and Document Status

To check TNREGINET application status online, log in and open Know Your Application Status. Choose My Documents for registration, Encumbrance Certificate for EC requests or Certified Copy for copy requests. The TNREGINET document status tool in the app also tracks a document by temporary ID, document number or pending number.

The status tells you whether the request is still pending with the SRO, returned for a correction, or complete and ready to download. Under STAR 3.0, the same registration status updates also arrive on WhatsApp.

TNREGINET Marriage Registration and Marriage Certificate

Marriage registration in Tamil Nadu is compulsory under the Tamil Nadu Registration of Marriages Act 2009. You start the application on TNREGINET, then both spouses and witnesses visit the Sub-Registrar Office once for verification, after which the marriage certificate is issued.

TNREGINET Marriage Registration Online: Steps

1. Log in and select the marriage registration service, such as the TNREGINET Hindu marriage form.
2. Enter the details of both spouses and the witnesses.
3. Upload ID, age and address proof, marriage proof such as the invitation, and photographs.
4. Pay the fee and book a visit to the SRO.
5. Visit the SRO with the spouses, witnesses and original documents.

TNREGINET Marriage Certificate Download

Search the marriage record on TNREGINET with the registration number and year. For a signed marriage certificate download, apply for a certified copy of the marriage record and download it from your application status.

Society, Firm, Chit Fund and Will Registration

TNREGINET society registration, firm registration and chit fund filings start online, and the department also registers some personal documents:

Registering a will is optional, but a registered will is much harder to challenge. It must be signed by the person making it and two witnesses. TNREGINET rental agreement registration is not available: in Tamil Nadu, rental agreements are registered with the Rent Authority on tenancy.tn.gov.in.

Know Your Jurisdiction: Find Your Sub-Registrar Office

Every property must be registered and every EC searched at the SRO that covers its village or street. Use "Know Your Jurisdiction" on TNREGINET to find it without login.

1. Open tnreginet.gov.in and click Know Your Jurisdiction.
2. Select the district and the village or street.
3. The page shows the Sub-Registrar Office and zone for that area.

The Find Field Office option next to it gives the SRO address. The TNREGINET app has the same jurisdiction locator.

TNREGINET Mobile App

The TNREGINET Google Play listing names the Tamilnadu Registration Department as its publisher. Check that name and device compatibility before installing.

TNREGINET App Download: Official App vs APK Files

TNREGINET Not Working: Errors and Fixes

If you find the TNREGINET website not working or TNREGINET is down, the cause is usually heavy traffic, scheduled maintenance or a browser issue, not your account. Most problems clear within a few hours. Match your problem below.

If the TNREGINET portal is not working for more than a day, email [email protected] with a screenshot of the error and your application number.

TNREGINET Helpline, Customer Care and IGR Office

The TNREGINET helpline number for portal problems is the toll free 1800 102 5174; for complaints about an SRO, write to the District Registrar or the office of the Inspector General of Registration (IGR) in Chennai.

TNREGINET Inspector General of Registration Office

The Inspector General of Registration heads the department from No. 100, Santhome High Road, Chennai 600028, which is the TNREGINET head office address. District Registrars handle appeals and complaints about SROs in their district, and the IGR office takes matters that the district cannot settle.
