Most fees follow a simple capital-based slab; a few are flat; and late filing adds a per-day penalty. Here is how MCA \/ ROC filing fees actually work in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>To get the exact government fee for any form and capital, use our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taxaj.com\/mca-fee-calculator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MCA fee calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>The capital-based slab<\/h2>\n<p>Most company forms \u2014 AOC-4, MGT-7, DIR-12, INC-22, PAS-3, MGT-14 \u2014 use one slab based on <strong>authorised share capital<\/strong>: \u20b9200 up to \u20b91 lakh, \u20b9300 for \u20b91\u20135 lakh, \u20b9400 for \u20b95\u201325 lakh, \u20b9500 for \u20b925 lakh\u20131 crore, and \u20b9600 above \u20b91 crore. It is the authorised capital that matters, not paid-up.<\/p>\n<h2>SPICe+ incorporation \u2014 free up to \u20b915 lakh<\/h2>\n<p>Company incorporation via SPICe+ carries <strong>zero MCA filing fee for authorised capital up to \u20b915 lakh<\/strong>. Above that, the standard registration fee applies. You still pay stamp duty on the MoA\/AoA (which varies by state) and the cost of DSCs \u2014 but the incorporation form itself is free within that capital limit.<\/p>\n<h2>LLP fees are lower<\/h2>\n<p>LLPs use total partner contribution, not capital. FiLLiP incorporation runs \u20b9500\u2013\u20b95,000 by contribution, and the annual filings \u2014 Form 8 and Form 11 \u2014 are cheaper still, starting at just \u20b950 and rising to \u20b9600 for large LLPs.<\/p>\n<h2>DIR-3 KYC and flat-fee forms<\/h2>\n<p>DIR-3 KYC is free if filed on time and is now triennial from FY 2025-26 \u2014 but if a DIN is deactivated for non-filing, reactivation costs a flat \u20b95,000. Other flat-fee forms include RUN name reservation (\u20b91,000, or \u20b9200 for LLP) and STK-2 strike-off (\u20b95,000 for companies, \u20b93,000 for LLPs).<\/p>\n<h2>Late filing: \u20b9100 per day, no cap<\/h2>\n<p>File AOC-4 or MGT-7 late and an additional fee of \u20b9100 per day per form accrues with no upper limit.
