OPC Registration Fees in India: What It Actually Costs in 2026
What really goes into the price of registering a One Person Company — government fees, stamp duty, digital signatures, professional charges — and how to spot the hidden costs hiding behind a quote that looks too cheap.
The short answer
Registering a One Person Company in India means paying for a digital signature, name reservation, government filing fees, stamp duty (which varies by state), and a professional fee for getting it filed correctly. At QwikFilings it’s a flat ₹8,999 with all government fees included — only stamp duty in five states is billed separately, and always shown to you before you pay.
What you’re actually paying for
An OPC registration fee isn’t one charge — it’s a stack of them. Here’s every piece that goes into the number:
- Digital Signature Certificates (DSC)Both the director and the nominee need a DSC to sign the MCA forms electronically.
- Name reservation (SPICe+ Part A)The government fee to reserve your proposed company name on the MCA portal.
- Government filing feesMCA fees for the incorporation suite — SPICe+ Part B, INC-33 (eMOA), INC-34 (eAOA), INC-9 and AGILE-PRO.
- Stamp dutyA state government charge that varies by state and by your authorised capital. A few states levy noticeably higher stamp duty than the rest.
- Company PAN & TANIssued in the company’s name as part of incorporation.
- Professional feeWhat you pay a CA or firm to prepare, verify and file everything correctly — the part that decides whether your filing sails through or gets stuck in MCA queries.
Why quotes differ: authorised capital (commonly set at ₹1 lakh) and your state’s stamp duty are the two variables that move the government portion of the cost. Everything else is fairly standard — so the real difference between providers is the professional fee and whether the government fees are included or added on later.

The fine print
The cheapest quote is rarely the final price.
The lowest advertised OPC prices usually leave out the government fees, the DSC, or the stamp duty — the extras appear only after you’ve committed. A firm worth trusting shows you the all-in number first, in writing.

Frequently asked questions
Are there any hidden charges?
No. Our price includes the government fees. The only separate item is stamp duty in five states, and you see it itemised before you pay anything.
Is stamp duty included in the fee?
It is included for most states. Five states — Karnataka, Rajasthan, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh and Punjab — levy higher stamp duty, which is billed separately and shown to you up front.
Does the fee depend on authorised capital?
The government stamp-duty portion scales with authorised capital, which is commonly set at ₹1 lakh. A higher authorised capital increases that part of the cost.
Are there ongoing costs after registration?
Yes. Every OPC has annual compliance — audit, MCA filings and an income-tax return — which is a separate yearly cost from the one-time registration fee.
