"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.
