Company registration in India: costs, timing and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

Company registration in India costs roughly ₹8,000 to ₹20,000 for most small businesses, while a private limited company set up all-in is quoted at ₹16,000 to ₹40,000. Describe your structure in a request on BlaBlaPrice to see current offers from sellers in your city.

Documents and registrations to expect

A private limited company registration in these listings includes a PAN, a TAN, a digital signature certificate (DSC), a director identification number (DIN) and the memorandum and articles of association (MOA and AOA). Ask the provider to list each one and its fee in the offer. One comparison lists licence fees of ₹2,000 to ₹4,000 and stamp duty of ₹1,000 to ₹5,000 on top.

How long registration takes

A private limited company is quoted at 7 to 15 working days, and another provider gives 10 to 15 days for its all-inclusive package. The climate is hot all year with wet and dry seasons, and registration does not follow those seasons, so the timing is set by paperwork and approvals rather than weather. Plan your launch date and first invoices around the longer estimate, and ask for a deadline in writing.

Fees change by state

Costs depend on the state where the company is registered, so the same company can cost very different amounts from one state to another. One comparison quotes total costs of ₹720 in Tamil Nadu and ₹10,020 in Karnataka. Ask the provider which state's fees they have used, and whether the price includes the government fee or only their own work.

What to put in your request

Name the business structure you want, the number and location of founders, and the activity or business codes if you know them. Say whether you need taxation set up, which extras you want, your deadline, your city, and your budget. Post-incorporation costs such as accounting are quoted separately, at ₹10,000 to ₹25,000 a year in one comparison, so say whether you want them included.

Getting offers through BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the structure in your own words in a chat, and BlaBlaPrice reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in India before showing the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, including price, terms and delivery, while your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to share them with. You can also send the request link to local advisers you already know. Start from the home page or read how it works.
