How Company Registration Costs Work in India (2026)

Registering a company in India involves multiple government fees that vary by state and authorized capital. The biggest variable is stamp duty on the Memorandum of Association (MoA) and Articles of Association (AoA), which is governed by each state's Stamp Act - not the Companies Act.

For example, Karnataka charges ₹3,500 for Pvt Ltd stamp duty while Delhi charges only ₹1,100. Most registration platforms show a single "starting from ₹X" price without disclosing state-wise differences. Our calculator shows you the exact cost for your specific state.

An important saving most founders miss: MCA charges ₹0 SPICe+ filing fee for authorized capital up to ₹15 Lakh. Since most startups begin with ₹1 Lakh authorized capital, the government filing fee is effectively zero - making the primary costs stamp duty, DSC, and professional fees.

CorporateSaathi charges a flat ₹1,999 professional fee for all structures - covering DSC application, DIN allotment, name reservation, SPICe+ filing, MoA/AoA drafting, and PAN/TAN. The total you see in our calculator is your final invoice with zero hidden charges.
