"How much to register my company?" is one of the first questions every founder asks — and online answers are all over the place. Here's an honest breakdown of what actually goes into the cost.
What you're paying for
- Government fees — MCA filing fees and stamp duty (these vary by state and by your authorized capital).
- DSC — Digital Signature Certificates for the directors.
- Professional fees — for drafting documents and handling the filings correctly.
- Name reservation and incidental charges.
Why quotes differ so much
Stamp duty differs by state, authorized capital changes fees, and some providers quote a low headline price then add charges. A transparent quote should tell you exactly what's included.
Structure affects cost
A proprietorship is cheapest, an OPC and LLP sit in the middle, and a private limited company costs a bit more — but the right structure for your goals matters more than saving a few thousand rupees upfront.
Ask for an all-inclusive, itemised quote so there are no surprises. At GovYapar we keep pricing transparent — you see exactly what you pay for.
