Step-by-Step Registration Procedure
The entire process is governed by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs and completed online via the MCA portal.

Filing SPICe+ with RoC Jammu
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 Ladakh

The MCA also charges zero government filing fee for authorised capital up to ₹15 lakh.
| Authorised Capital | Govt / MCA Filing Fee | Ladakh Stamp Duty (approx) | TAXAJ Professional Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to ₹1 Lakh | Nil | Nominal (MoA + AoA) | ₹11,999 |
| ₹1 – ₹5 Lakh | Nil | Small % of authorised capital | from ₹11,999 |
