If you’ve searched this before, you’ve probably seen ads like:

👉 “Register your company at just ₹999”

Let me be honest — that’s not the real cost.

In most cases (based on what we’ve seen working with clients in Delhi NCR), the actual cost usually falls somewhere between ₹8,000 to ₹18,000 for a basic Private Limited Company.

And sometimes, it can go higher depending on what you need.

Let me break this down the way I explain it to my own clients 👇

1. Government Fees – Fixed but Slightly Variable

This is the part you can’t avoid.

It includes:

• Company name approval
• Incorporation filing
• PAN & TAN generation
• Stamp duty (depends on Delhi rules)

👉 In Delhi, this usually comes to around ₹1,500 to ₹5,000

📌 One thing many people don’t know:
Stamp duty changes slightly depending on your authorized capital, so the cost isn’t exactly the same for everyone.

2. DSC (Digital Signature) – Small but Necessary Cost

Each director needs a DSC.

👉 Cost per person: around ₹800 to ₹1,200

So if you have 2 directors, expect roughly:
👉 ₹1,600 – ₹2,400

3. Professional Fees – Where Most Confusion Happens

This is where people get misled the most.

Different providers charge very differently:

• Freelancers: ₹5,000 – ₹7,000
• Small firms: ₹7,000 – ₹12,000
• Experienced consultants: ₹10,000 – ₹18,000

Now here’s the reality 👇

👉 Lower price often means:

• No proper guidance
• Delays in approval
• No post-registration support

👉 Slightly higher price usually includes:

• Proper consultation
• Error-free filing
• Help with future compliance

Hidden Costs (This Is Where People Get Surprised)

This is based on real client experiences.

Many people come to us after paying a low fee elsewhere, and then they’re told to pay extra for:

• GST registration
• Registered office address
• बैंक खाता सहायता
• Annual compliance

👉 These can easily add ₹3,000 to ₹10,000 extra

So if someone quotes very low, always ask:
👉 “What is NOT included?”

Why Delhi NCR is Actually a Good Place to Register

From practical experience:

• Faster approvals compared to many states
• Moderate stamp duty
• Better access to professionals

👉 That’s why many startups prefer Delhi NCR for incorporation

A Quick Suggestion (Based on Real Cases)

If you’re just starting out:

✔ Don’t go for the cheapest option blindly
✔ Don’t overpay for “premium packages” either
✔ Choose someone who explains things clearly

Because honestly, company registration is not just about filing forms — it’s about setting things correctly from day one.

Common Questions I Get from Clients

1. Can I register a company under ₹5,000?

Possible, but usually incomplete or with hidden charges later.

2. How long does it take in Delhi NCR?

In most normal cases: 5 to 8 working days

3. Is GST compulsory with company registration?

No. It depends on your business type.

4. What is the biggest mistake people make?

Choosing based only on price — and ignoring service quality.

Final Thought

If you’re serious about starting your business, think of registration as a foundation, not just a cost.

Saving ₹2,000 today but facing issues later?
Not worth it.
