What makes up the cost
Government/ROC fees and stamp duty, DSCs for each director, and the professional fee for drafting and filing.
It varies by state and capital
Stamp duty differs across states and rises with authorised capital, so the total is case-specific. Ask us for a quote for your situation.
What drives the figure, and the recurring extras
The total is built from a few moving parts. Government and ROC fees, and especially stamp duty on the MOA, AOA and the authorised capital, vary by state — stamp duty in one state can be several times another’s for the same capital — and rise as you increase authorised capital, so keeping initial authorised capital modest keeps this down. Digital signatures are a per-director cost. Professional fees cover drafting the MOA/AOA, the filing, and getting the post-incorporation steps right. Beyond incorporation itself, budget for the things that follow: share-certificate stamp duty, the first-year statutory audit, AOC-4 and MGT-7 filings, DIR-3 KYC, and any GST or other registrations the business needs. For a small company with standard objects and low capital, the one-time setup is modest; it’s the recurring annual compliance that’s the larger ongoing number. Because stamp duty and capital choices move the figure, an exact quote for your state, capital and number of directors is more useful than a headline price, which is why we quote per case rather than from a fixed menu.
