Every business portal in India advertises "Register your Pvt Ltd Company for just ₹999 or ₹1,999". But when you click through and enter your details, the final invoice jumps to ₹9,000, ₹14,000, or even ₹20,000.
Why does this happen? Because online portals hide the mandatory Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) government stamp duties, Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) costs, and state-specific filing fees until the final payment page.
At CorporateSaathi, we believe in absolute financial transparency. In this guide, our expert CA team breaks down every single rupee required to incorporate a Private Limited Company in India in 2026.
