Accounting services in India: plans, bookkeeping and prices

Updated 4 November 2026

Approximately, according to sellers' websites in November 2026, basic accounting plans in India start from ₹999 a month, while bookkeeping is quoted at ₹650 to ₹1,100 an hour. The price rises with transaction volume, and advanced services that include GST and reporting cost more. To see prices for your business, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Licences and qualifications

Formal qualifications such as CA, CMA or a commerce degree add credibility. One guide says that some services, such as audits, need a licensed professional. Ask the accountant for their qualification and membership details, and check who signs the audit work before you agree to it.

Season and filing calendar

India's climate is tropical, hot all year with a wet season and a dry season, and it has little effect on this service. The timing that matters is your own calendar: monthly GST work and the year-end accounts. Start bookkeeping before a deadline, not in the last week, so the records are complete when the return is due.

How it is priced and delivered

Quotes depend on business size and the services you need. One listed package for a sole proprietor with a single GST registration, covering voucher entry and bank reconciliation, is shown at ₹8,000 to ₹12,000. Annual compliance is often quoted separately, at ₹10,000 to ₹25,000 a year in one guide. Ask whether the work is done online with your files shared, or whether a visit is included.

What to write in your request

Say whether you are a sole proprietor, a partnership or a company, and what you need: regular bookkeeping or a one-off clean-up. Give your monthly transaction volume, the type of business, your city and a monthly budget. This lets sellers quote a monthly plan instead of an hourly rate, which is easier to compare.
