How to Use the Registration Cost Calculator
This tool estimates the total cost of business registration in India based on the latest MCA fee schedule and state-wise stamp duty rates.
Step 1 — Select Entity Type
Choose from Pvt Ltd, OPC, LLP, Partnership, or Section 8 (NGO). Each has different fee structures and compliance requirements.
Step 2 — Select State and Capital
State affects stamp duty on MOA/AOA or LLP agreement. Authorized capital affects MCA fees — start with ₹1L to minimise initial costs.
Step 3 — View Cost Breakup
Get detailed line-by-line cost including government fees, stamp duty, DSC, DIN, name reservation, PAN/TAN, and optional professional charges.
CA Tip: Start with ₹1 lakh authorized capital to minimise registration cost. You can increase it later as needed. For most startups, Pvt Ltd is recommended for credibility and funding access. LLP suits professional firms with lower compliance overhead. Consult the ICAI for entity selection guidance.
