    Why Cost Transparency Matters

    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.

    Stamp duty is a statutory cost and may be charged separately or included depending on quote format. It varies by state and capital.

    Does authorised capital affect cost?+

    Authorised capital can affect stamp duty and certain filing costs, so it should be planned realistically.

    Can the cost increase after filing starts?+

    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.

    How does CompanyJi prepare the quotation?+

    CompanyJi reviews entity type, state, directors, capital, registered office, GST requirement and service scope before sharing a quote.

    When do I need to pay?+

    Payment timing depends on the selected plan. Government fees and DSC costs may need to be paid before or during filing.

    No. MCA and stamp duty components can differ based on capital, state and entity structure.

    Is name approval charged separately?+

    Name approval support may be included, but additional attempts or separate RUN filings can change cost depending on scope.

    What if the company name is rejected?+

    Name rejection can delay the process. A good name strategy reduces risk, but final approval depends on MCA review.

    Is DIN included in incorporation?+

    DIN for proposed directors can be applied through the incorporation process subject to form limits and MCA rules.

    Are resubmissions charged extra?+

    Simple MCA resubmission may be included in many plans, but major document changes or scope changes can attract extra charges.

    💰

    Is registered office included?+

    If you need a virtual or shared registered office, it is usually a separate add-on depending on city and provider.

    Is shareholder agreement included?+

    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.

    🚫

    Mistakes

    Common founder mistakes.

    What is the biggest mistake while comparing registration cost?+

    The biggest mistake is comparing only headline prices without checking inclusions, government fees, DSC and post-registration support.

    Can hidden charges appear later?+

    Yes, if the quote does not clearly mention DSC, stamp duty, GST registration, bank support, resubmission and compliance items.

    Is selecting wrong entity costly?+

    Yes. Converting or restructuring later can cost more than choosing the correct entity at the beginning.

    Can wrong authorised capital increase cost?+

    Yes. Excessive authorised capital may increase stamp duty or create avoidable setup cost.

    Can skipping compliance create penalties?+

    Yes. Ignoring post-incorporation and annual compliance can lead to penalties and poor due diligence records.
