How it works
Five steps from idea to Certificate of Incorporation
Choose the structure
A 20-minute call with a CA on liability, tax, funding plans and cost. You leave with a recommendation and a written government-fee quote for your state.
Documents and digital signatures
Upload PAN, Aadhaar, address proofs and the office proof once. We issue Class 3 DSCs after a short video KYC.
Name approval
Name search on MCA and the trademark registry, then SPICe+ Part A or RUN-LLP with two names in order of preference.
Drafting and filing
Charter documents written for your business, every linked form prepared and certified by a CA or CS, stamp duty paid online, one submission.
Certificate and handover
Certificate of Incorporation, PAN, TAN, bank-account kit, registers, share certificates and a first-year compliance calendar with a named contact.
What every package includes
Included in the ₹4,999 professional fee
Structure consultation
CA advice on which entity fits your plan, before any fee is paid.
Name and trademark search
MCA and trademark registry checked so the name survives scrutiny and later legal notices.
Charter documents
MoA/AoA, LLP agreement or partnership deed drafted for your business, not a template.
All government filings
SPICe+, FiLLiP, Registrar of Firms or state portals — prepared, certified and filed by us.
PAN, TAN and bank account
Allotted with incorporation; bank-account opening supported with the accepted proofs.
First-year compliance calendar
Every due date after registration, with reminders, so penalties never start.
Government fees (MCA filing fee, stamp duty, DSC token charges, PAN/TAN) depend on your state and capital. We quote the exact amount before filing and it is paid at actuals with receipts.

FAQs
Company registration in India: questions founders ask
Which is the best business structure for a startup in India?
If you will raise equity, offer ESOPs or take foreign investment, a private limited company. If you are professionals or a service firm sharing fees, an LLP. A solo founder who wants limited liability picks a One Person Company. Family trading businesses often start as a partnership firm, and freelancers as a sole proprietorship. Our first call settles this for your case.
What does ₹4,999 + Govt. fee mean?
₹4,999 is BookMyCA's professional fee for the whole registration — consultation, drafting, filings, PAN, TAN and bank support. Government charges (MCA fee, state stamp duty, DSC tokens, PAN/TAN fee) are quoted for your state before we start and paid at actuals with receipts. There is no separate add-on for certification or resubmission.
How long does company registration take in India?
Private limited and OPC: 7–10 working days. LLP: 10–15 working days including the agreement. Partnership deed and PAN: 3–7 days, with the Registrar of Firms certificate as per the state. Section 8 and producer companies: 15–25 working days because of licence or member verification.
Can I register a company at my home address?
Yes. A residential address can be the registered office of a company or LLP. You need a recent utility bill and a no-objection certificate from the owner.
Is company registration in Jaipur different from other cities?
No. The MCA process is the same across India; only the stamp duty on charter documents changes with the state of the registered office. BookMyCA is based in Jaipur and registers companies in every state online.
Do I need GST registration along with incorporation?
Only when turnover crosses ₹40 lakh for goods or ₹20 lakh for services, for inter-state supply of goods, or for selling on e-commerce platforms. We add GST when it is needed; it carries no government fee.
What happens after registration?
A company deposits its capital and files INC-20A within 180 days, appoints an auditor within 30 days and files annual returns; an LLP files its agreement within 30 days and two annual forms. Every package includes a first-year calendar and a named contact so none of this is missed.
Can I get Startup India (DPIIT) recognition after registering?
Yes, for private limited companies, LLPs and registered partnership firms that are less than ten years old with turnover under ₹100 crore. We file the DPIIT application as an add-on.
Figures are from the Companies Act 2013, LLP Act 2008, Indian Partnership Act 1932, the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules 2014, LLP Rules 2009 and Nidhi Rules 2014 as amended, as on 5 September 2026. Stamp duty is set by each state and quoted before filing.
