Company Registration Cost in India
Understand the real cost of registering a company in India — professional fees, MCA filing, stamp duty, DSC, DIN, PAN, TAN, GST readiness, bank account support and post-incorporation compliance planning with no hidden surprises.
Know exactly what you pay for before starting company registration.
Company registration cost depends on entity type, state stamp duty, number of directors, authorised capital, DSC requirement, GST need, registered office status and post-incorporation compliance support.
What we review before giving your final quotation
A proper company registration quote should consider your entity type, directors, shareholders, capital, state, registered office, GST requirement, business activity and compliance support needs.
Avoid low-price traps, surprise government fees and incomplete company setup.
Many founders compare only headline prices and later discover missing DSC fees, stamp duty, GST filing, bank support, registered office documentation or post-incorporation compliance. A clean quote should separate professional fees, government fees and optional add-ons.

Company Registration Cost FAQs
Category-wise answers covering cost basics, inclusions, government fees, DSC, GST, bank account, compliance, hidden charges and common founder mistakes.
Basics
Important cost guidance.
Company registration cost depends on entity type, state stamp duty, authorised capital, number of directors, DSC requirement and professional support selected.
Yes, CompanyJi can offer starter professional plans from ₹7,999 for eligible registrations, subject to government fees, DSC, stamp duty and scope confirmation.
No. A very low quote may exclude DSC, stamp duty, GST, bank support, compliance handover or advisory, which can cost more later.
State-wise stamp duty and office jurisdiction can affect the final cost of incorporation documents.
Yes. A final quote can be prepared after checking entity type, directors, shareholders, capital, state and required add-ons.
Inclusions
What should be included.
Typical inclusions include name guidance, incorporation filing, MOA, AOA, PAN, TAN and incorporation certificate support.
DSC may be included or charged separately depending on the plan and number of directors. It should be clearly mentioned in the quote.
For company incorporation, PAN and TAN are generally issued through the linked incorporation process.
MOA and AOA preparation should be included for private limited company registration because they are core incorporation documents.
Basic bank account document guidance may be included, but actual bank approval depends on bank policy and KYC checks.
Fees
Professional and government fees.
Government fees may include MCA filing fee, stamp duty and other statutory charges depending on capital, state and form type.
Professional fees are charged for advisory, document preparation, form filing, drafting, coordination and compliance guidance.
Stamp duty is a statutory cost and may be charged separately or included depending on quote format. It varies by state and capital.
Authorised capital can affect stamp duty and certain filing costs, so it should be planned realistically.
Cost may change if the scope changes, documents are deficient, additional directors are added or extra registrations are requested.
Process
How pricing and filing work.
CompanyJi reviews entity type, state, directors, capital, registered office, GST requirement and service scope before sharing a quote.
Payment timing depends on the selected plan. Government fees and DSC costs may need to be paid before or during filing.
Timeline depends on document readiness, name approval, MCA processing and resubmission if any query is raised.
Yes. GST registration can be included or added separately depending on business requirement and package.
Most company registration work can be handled digitally, subject to KYC, DSC and document requirements.
MCA
MCA and ROC filing cost.
No. MCA and stamp duty components can differ based on capital, state and entity structure.
Name approval support may be included, but additional attempts or separate RUN filings can change cost depending on scope.
Name rejection can delay the process. A good name strategy reduces risk, but final approval depends on MCA review.
DIN for proposed directors can be applied through the incorporation process subject to form limits and MCA rules.
Simple MCA resubmission may be included in many plans, but major document changes or scope changes can attract extra charges.
Add-ons
Optional services and extras.
GST registration, trademark search, registered office, accounting setup, shareholder agreement and compliance retainership can increase total cost.
Trademark registration is usually a separate service, though a basic name conflict review may be discussed during setup.
If you need a virtual or shared registered office, it is usually a separate add-on depending on city and provider.
Shareholder agreement drafting is generally separate from basic company registration and should be quoted separately.
Basic guidance may be provided, but bookkeeping software setup and monthly accounting are usually separate services.
Compliance
First-year and recurring cost.
After registration, companies may need auditor appointment, accounting, GST, TDS, board records, annual filing and income tax return support.
Annual ROC filing is usually not included in basic registration cost unless a compliance package is selected.
Private limited companies need auditor appointment after incorporation, and the related support may be part of post-incorporation services.
Yes. Even companies with no revenue generally need statutory filings, accounting records and ROC compliance.
Yes. CompanyJi can provide annual compliance, accounting, tax and ROC support after incorporation.
Bank & GST
Banking and tax setup.
Document support may be included, but the bank independently approves account opening based on KYC and internal policy.
GST depends on turnover, interstate supply, ecommerce, business activity and other GST law conditions.
GST inclusion depends on the selected plan. It should be specifically confirmed in the quote.
Yes. Companies should maintain books from incorporation date, even if transactions are limited.
You can invoice after incorporation, but GST and tax requirements should be checked before issuing invoices.
Mistakes
Common founder mistakes.

Yes. Converting or restructuring later can cost more than choosing the correct entity at the beginning.
Yes. Excessive authorised capital may increase stamp duty or create avoidable setup cost.
Yes. Ignoring post-incorporation and annual compliance can lead to penalties and poor due diligence records.
