Company Registration Fees in India - Government & Professional Costs
Company registration Fees in India comprise government charges, applicable stamp duty, and professional service fees. The final amount depends on factors such as authorised share capital, state of incorporation, selected services, and the level of compliance support required. IndiaFilings offers incorporation and incorporation-plus-compliance packages, while government Fees and DSC charges may be payable separately.
What is the Cost of Company Registration?
The cost of company registration depends on the company structure, authorised capital, state-specific stamp duty, and professional assistance selected. A private limited company generally involves government filing requirements, documentation, digital signatures, and professional support. Review the company registration process before estimating your overall incorporation expense.
Company Registration Cost Components
Company registration expenses can be divided into statutory charges and professional services. Understanding each component helps founders identify which expenses are mandatory, which vary by circumstances, and which relate to professional assistance rather than government filing.
| Component | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MCA incorporation filing | Depends on applicable rules | Linked to authorised capital and applicable filing provisions. |
| Name reservation | Government charge | Applicable when name reservation is filed separately. |
| Stamp duty | State-specific | Varies according to the state and applicable incorporation documents. |
| PAN and TAN | Government charge | Collected through the integrated incorporation process. |
| Professional services | Package-dependent | Covers incorporation assistance, documentation, filing and related support. |
| DSC | Separate | Digital Signature Certificate charges are borne by the client. |
Government Fees for Company Registration
Government charges are separate from professional Fees. For companies incorporated through SPICe+ with authorised capital up to ₹15 lakh, the applicable MCA incorporation filing fee is ₹0, subject to the prescribed conditions. Stamp duty remains applicable according to the state. PAN and TAN charges are also part of the government payment structure.
| Government Fee Component | Price |
|---|---|
| SPICe+ incorporation filing | ₹0 up to ₹15,00,000 authorised capital |
| Separate name reservation through SPICe+ Part A | ₹1,000 |
| PAN application | ₹66 |
| TAN application | ₹65 |
| Stamp duty | Varies by state |
Professional Fees for Company Registration
Professional fees cover the assistance provided for incorporation and related documentation. IndiaFilings currently lists two principal private limited company plans: an incorporation package and an incorporation-plus-compliance package. Government Fees and DSC charges are separate from these professional packages.
| Plan | Professional Fee |
|---|---|
| Private Limited Company - Incorporation | ₹2,899 + GST |
| Private Limited Company - Incorporation and Compliance | ₹19,899 + GST |
The incorporation plan focuses on setting up the company, while the incorporation and compliance plan extends support to ongoing statutory and accounting requirements. Package pricing should therefore be considered alongside the services included in each plan.
Key Factors Affecting Company Registration Cost
Several factors can change the final registration expense. The most relevant include authorised share capital, incorporation state, whether name reservation is filed separately, the number of directors requiring DSCs, and whether the business needs continuing compliance and accounting assistance after incorporation.
- Authorised capital: Government filing requirements can vary with capital.
- State: Stamp duty differs between states.
- Directors: DSC requirements can add separate expenses.
- Services: Compliance and accounting support affect professional Fees.
- Name reservation: A separate reservation application can attract a government charge.
