In Tamil Nadu, stamp duty for a rental agreement generally depends on the rent, advance/premium and period of tenancy. For a tenancy below 30 years, it is generally 1% of the applicable aggregate amount. Share the monthly rent, advance and agreement period for an exact calculation.

In Tamil Nadu, the stamp duty for a rental/tenancy agreement is calculated based on the aggregate amount of rent, premium, fine or advance payable under the agreement. For a tenancy period below 30 years, the stamp duty is generally ₹1 for every ₹100 (1%) of such amount. For a period of 30–99 years, it is ₹4 per ₹100, and for a period exceeding 99 years, ₹7 per ₹100. The exact amount will depend on the rent, advance/premium and tenure of the agreement.
