Company Registration Cost in India: Complete Fee Breakdown (2026)
Registering a Private Limited company in India costs roughly ₹6,000–₹15,000 in government fees for a standard authorised capital of ₹1–10 lakh, plus professional service fees. The exact amount depends on authorised capital, the state (stamp duty varies by state), and whether you use the central MCA fee exemption for small companies.

Post-registration costs to budget for
Beyond incorporation, budget for GST registration (if applicable), a current bank account, annual ROC compliance (AOC-4, MGT-7), and statutory audit — a Private Limited company must get its accounts audited every year regardless of turnover.
