How much does company registration really cost in India?
The 'from ₹999' prices you see are professional fees only — not the all-in cost. In reality, registering a private limited company in India usually costs between roughly ₹8,000 and ₹20,000 when you include government fees, digital signatures (DSC) and professional charges. The exact figure depends on your state, number of directors and authorised capital.
Why advertised prices are misleading
Most registration sites advertise a low 'starting at' price — often ₹999 to ₹2,999 — to capture leads. That figure is usually the professional fee alone, excluding government fees, stamp duty and digital signature certificates. It's a hook, not the total you'll pay.
What actually goes into the cost
The all-in cost of a private limited company registration is made up of:
- Government / MCA fees and state stamp duty (varies by state and authorised capital)
- Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) for each director
- Professional fees for drafting, filing and follow-up
- PAN, TAN and related registrations
The honest range
For a straightforward private limited company, expect roughly ₹8,000–₹20,000 all-in, and sometimes more depending on the number of directors, members and authorised capital. LLPs, OPCs and partnerships generally cost less; a sole proprietorship is the cheapest start of all.
