What's included in your Pvt Ltd cost

The total above is a complete, all-in setup cost for a Private Limited company — not just the government fee. Here is what goes into it.

Government filing fee

The MCA / RoC and stamp duty paid via SPICe+. This scales with your authorised capital and varies by state stamp-duty rates on the MOA/AOA.

Professional fee

TaxClue's end-to-end charge — name approval, MOA/AOA drafting, SPICe+ filing and follow-up until your Certificate of Incorporation is issued.

DSC & DIN

Each director needs a Digital Signature Certificate (₹1,500/director) to sign filings, plus a Director Identification Number (₹500/director) allotted through SPICe+.

Add-on registrations

Optional extras like GST, MSME, Trademark, FSSAI, IEC and DPIIT — each with its own flat fee and timeline, added on top of the base incorporation.

How the SPICe+ process works

Private Limited companies are incorporated through the MCA's integrated SPICe+ (INC-32) web form, which bundles name reservation, incorporation, DIN, PAN, TAN and more into a single application.

1
DSC & DIN
Digital signatures are issued for every director and DINs are applied within SPICe+ — usually 1–2 days.
2
Name approval
Reserve your company name via SPICe+ Part A (RUN) — up to two proposed names.
3
SPICe+ & MOA/AOA
File SPICe+ Part B with e-MOA (INC-33), e-AOA (INC-34), AGILE-PRO and pay government fees.
4
Certificate
Certificate of Incorporation with CIN, PAN & TAN is issued — then add-ons like GST are filed.

Private Limited vs LLP — which to pick

Both give you limited liability and a separate legal identity. A Private Limited company is the standard choice when you plan to raise equity funding or issue ESOPs; an LLP is lighter to run when you don't need external investors.
