Two quotes for the same incorporation can differ by ten thousand rupees, and the difference is almost never the professional fee. It is stamp duty, which is a state levy, and digital signatures, which scale with the number of directors.
What is actually charged
| Item | What it is |
|---|---|
| Name reservation, RUN or SPICe+ Part A | ₹1,000 per application |
| MOA and AOA stamp duty | A Haryana state levy, scaled to authorised capital |
| SPICe+ filing fee | Nil for authorised capital up to ₹15 lakh |
| Digital Signature Certificate | ₹1,500 to ₹2,000 per director, a vendor charge not a government one |
| DIN | Allotted through SPICe+, no separate charge |
| PAN and TAN | Allotted automatically, no separate charge |
| INC-20A, commencement of business | ₹500, due within 180 days |
The Haryana stamp duty position
Stamp duty on the Memorandum and Articles is levied by the state and computed on authorised share capital. Haryana sits among the lower-rate states, which is a genuine advantage against neighbours like Delhi and Punjab for a company with meaningful authorised capital.
Since incorporation runs through SPICe+ with integrated e-stamping, the portal computes the duty for your state and capital automatically. There is no physical stamp paper to buy and no separate visit to a treasury. Confirm the figure the portal produces before you pay, because it is the one number in the whole exercise that changes by notification.
Keep authorised capital modest
Setting authorised capital at ₹50 lakh 'just in case' inflates your stamp duty today and your annual ROC filing fees for as long as the company exists, and buys nothing you cannot get later. Most new companies are well served by ₹1 lakh to ₹10 lakh. You can raise it in a few days with Form SH-7 on the day you actually need to.
The costs that arrive after incorporation
The registration fee is the small number. The recurring obligation is the one worth planning for.
| Obligation | When |
|---|---|
| INC-20A, commencement of business | Within 180 days of incorporation |
| Auditor appointment, ADT-1 | Within 30 days of incorporation |
| AOC-4, financial statements | Within 30 days of the AGM |
| MGT-7 or MGT-7A, annual return | Within 60 days of the AGM |
| DIR-3 KYC, every director | By 30 September each year |
| Income tax return | By the applicable due date, audit or otherwise |
Annual compliance for a small private limited company typically costs several times what the incorporation did. That is not a reason to avoid incorporating, but it is a reason to know the number before you commit.
