Everything You Need to Know About Guideline Value in Chennai

Admin 21 May 2024 2,026 Views

When an individual succeeds financially in his life, the first big step he takes is to buy a property. Purchasing a property is a challenging task and should be carried out carefully since, initially, the buyers are unaware of the values, essential things to check while buying a house, etc. The brokers and dealers take advantage of this unawareness and sell the property at much higher than the circle rates. To solve this problem, the Indian government devised a solution called "Guideline Value". Guideline Value is the minimum price of the property fixed by the state government. It concerns per square foot of land.

It is to be noted that guidance value and market value are not synonymous terms. The market Value isn't equivalent to the guidance value. Guidance value is always the minimum value of the property decided by the local government, and the property can't be sold at a value less than this minimum value. The price on which the property is sold is called market value. Sometimes this market value may be higher than the guideline value (in most cases), while other times, it could be less than the guidelines value (rarely). However, in such situations, the transferee must pay an extra price for the stamp duty and registration deed.

Property Guideline value plays an important role when buying a property. It helps the transferee decide whether he should accept the specific property. It helps to estimate the probable price of the property and whether it fixes in his budget. It helps to calculate the stamp duty, registration, and transfer charges. Also, it protects the buyer from any corrupt practices of the dealers and brokers. It covers the buyer's interest and safeguards the government's interest as it prevents the circulation of black money in real estate. If any property is sold undervalued or overvalued, the registration officer could inform the concerned officials regarding the scam.

Recently, the T.N. government has made many changes in Guidance Value in Tamil Nadu. If you plan to buy a property in Tamil Nadu, you should read this article first to increase your awareness about Tamil Nadu's guideline value.

What is Guideline Value in Chennai for 2023

Tamil Nadu state government has recently changed the Guideline Value in Chennai and other parts of the State. Though the guidance value has been seen, the government has reduced the spike, the stamp duty, and the registration charges rate. The stamp duty and the registration charges depend upon the guidance value only; it seems like the government has tried to balance the total value while transferring a property.

The government changed the guidelines' value to the same rate as in 2012- 2017. As a result, this value has risen 33%  in 2023 since last year. The reason behind such a harsh decision by the Tamil Nadu government is to minimize the difference between market value and guidance value. Also, this decision eventually helped raise loans by private sector employees to buy properties.

Though this hike in the guidance value was next to a shock, the government took care of the situation by reducing the stamp duty by 5%, registration fees by 2%, and sale, gifts, and exchange deeds by 2%. 

Tamil Nadu's guideline value also depends upon the availability of land. The southern part of India is primarily a peninsula region. Following is the distribution of land in Tamil Nadu:

      The residential area covers 36.63%

      The small crop region covers 33.4%

      16.55% is surrounded by forest

      11% by the government 

      Large crop regions cover 1.78%

The guideline value is high since the residential area availability is a little less in Tamil Nadu. Hence it is one of the contributing factors in determining the Tamil Nadu guideline value.

How to Find Land Guideline Value in Chennai?

Knowing the guideline value to protect yourself from fraud is very important. It is straightforward to find land government guideline value and find it yourself. A mathematical formula is used to find the property guideline value of land in Chennai. The formula is as follows:

Property Value = Guideline Value * total area of the land

The guideline value should be in ₨/ sq m, and the total area of the land should be calculated in square meters. With the application of this formula, you could determine the land guideline value of a property in Chennai.

For instance, you want to buy a 500 sq m property in the Sis Capetown region of Tamil Nadu, where the guidance value rate set by the government is 22,605. Now to calculate, we would put values in the formula mentioned above.

Property value= 22,605*500 = 11, 302, 500 crores

However, the reduction in the prices of stamp duty, registration, and transfer charges is a sigh of relief since Tamil Nadu has the highest stamp duty charges.
