India's most comprehensive Tamil Nadu real estate certification. CREP™ — 8-module RERA Tamil Nadu track covering TNRERA rules, CMDA/DTCP planning-authority jurisdiction, guideline value and stamp duty, Patta/Chitta/Adangal/FMB land records, and the complete Tamil Nadu real estate market including Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, Tiruchirappalli, and Salem.
The Tamil Nadu RERA track gives special coverage to the institutional and documentation layers distinctive to Tamil Nadu — the split between CMDA (governing the Chennai Metropolitan Area) and DTCP/Local Planning Authorities (governing everywhere else, including Coimbatore, Madurai, Tiruchirappalli, and Salem); guideline value as the basis for stamp duty calculation; the Patta, Chitta, Adangal, and FMB land records searchable via the e-Services portal, alongside the separate TNREGINET registration portal; and Chennai's distinctive IT-corridor growth pattern along OMR and GST Road. Covered in depth across Modules TN01, TN05, and TN06.
Built from official TNRERA portal content, CMDA and DTCP planning regulations, Tamil Nadu land-record system provisions on Patta, Chitta, Adangal, and FMB, and Tamil Nadu Registration Department (TNREGINET) guidelines. Every lesson cites its primary source with a last-verified date.

Source: rera.tn.gov.in + TNREGINETA buyer's plot documentation is unclear on whether CMDA or DTCP actually has jurisdiction. Explain how to verify the correct authority and why this matters before advising the client.
A property is being sold below the area's notified guideline value. Walk through what this means for stamp duty calculation and any additional scrutiny the client should be aware of.
A client is buying a property near an older temple-city core in Madurai, where renovation approval is taking longer than expected. Identify why heritage or conservation considerations apply and what to confirm before advising the client.
A Gulf-based NRI wants to buy an apartment in Chennai. Walk through FEMA requirements, POA execution, TDS obligations, bank account requirements, and repatriation rules.
Yes. Under RERA Act 2016, every real estate agent facilitating transactions in Tamil Nadu must register with TNRERA at rera.tn.gov.in. Operating without registration can result in penalties. Our Tamil Nadu track covers the complete registration process and compliance requirements.
Guideline value is Tamil Nadu's government-notified minimum property valuation, used as the basis for calculating stamp duty and registration charges — similar to circle rate, jantri, or DLC rate in other states. It varies by locality and is periodically revised, so the current applicable value for a specific area should always be verified directly on TNREGINET rather than assumed. Module TN05 covers how to verify current guideline value.
Patta is the ownership record tied to a specific survey number, Chitta is a village-level land-classification record, Adangal captures land-use and cultivation detail, and FMB (Field Measurement Book) is the official survey-boundary record. Together they form Tamil Nadu's land-record trail, searchable via the state's e-Services portal — separate from TNREGINET, which handles registration, Encumbrance Certificates, and guideline value. Module TN05 covers how to verify these records before advising a client.
CMDA (Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority) is responsible for planning, layout approval, and infrastructure development within the notified Chennai Metropolitan Area. DTCP (Directorate of Town and Country Planning), often through Local Planning Authorities, performs a comparable function everywhere else in Tamil Nadu, including Coimbatore, Madurai, Tiruchirappalli, and Salem. Confirming which specific body actually governs a plot is an essential first step, since the correct authority depends on the plot's location. Module TN06 covers Tamil Nadu's development and planning authorities in detail.
Properties near older temple-city cores — such as parts of Madurai — can carry additional heritage or conservation-related considerations alongside standard planning-authority approval, since these areas sit within recognized historic urban zones. Renovation, construction, or change-of-use approvals in such areas can involve extra scrutiny and longer timelines than an equivalent property elsewhere — a distinction buyers and agents should factor into their expectations. Module TN07 covers a full worked case on this exact scenario.
