Step-by-Step Registration Procedure
The entire process is governed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and completed online via the MCA portal. All Kanpur companies are registered with the Registrar of Companies (RoC) Kanpur, which is based in the city and covers the whole of Uttar Pradesh.

Class 3 DSC is issued for every proposed director via Aadhaar OTP or video KYC — mandatory for signing MCA filings.
Director Identification Number (DIN)
A unique DIN is allotted to each director within the SPICe+ incorporation form.
Name Reservation & Approval
A unique, MCA-compliant name is filed through Part A of SPICe+. Check name availability before you apply.

We draft your Memorandum & Articles — business objects, authorised capital, shareholding, voting rights and director powers.
Filing SPICe+ with Registrar of Companies (RoC) Kanpur
SPICe+ Part B with AGILE-Pro, INC-9, e-MoA and e-AoA plus all KYC and office-address proofs are filed for verification.

Stamp Duty & Cost of Company Registration in Uttar Pradesh
Stamp duty on incorporation is a state subject, and Uttar Pradesh keeps it low and predictable. The stamp duty on the MoA and AoA is a largely fixed charge of about ₹1,010 for authorised capital up to ₹10 lakh, rather than a percentage — so it does not balloon as your capital grows. It is e-stamped automatically inside the SPICe+ (INC-32) form, and the MCA charges zero government filing fee for authorised capital up to ₹15 lakh.
| Authorised Capital | Govt / MCA Filing Fee | UP Stamp Duty (approx) | TAXAJ Professional Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to ₹1 Lakh | Nil | ~₹1,010 (fixed) | ₹11,999 |
| ₹1 – ₹5 Lakh | Nil | ~₹1,010 (fixed) | from ₹11,999 |
| ₹5 – ₹10 Lakh | Nil | ~₹1,010 (fixed) | Custom quote |
| Above ₹10 Lakh | As per MCA capital slab | As per UP Stamp Act slab | Custom quote |
*Indicative only. Government fee and stamp duty are billed at actuals and computed automatically in SPICe+ based on your capital. Estimate precisely with our Company Stamp Duty Calculator and MCA Fee Calculator.
