Exact LLP registration cost in India for 2025 — government fees, stamp duty (state-wise), DSC, DPIN, LLP Agreement and professional charges. Including hidden costs to budget for.
LLP registration cost in India in 2025 typically falls between ₹7,000 and ₹15,000 end-to-end — depending on your state, capital contribution and whether you DIY or hire a professional. This guide gives you the exact line-item breakdown: government fees, stamp duty (state-wise), DSC, professional fees and the hidden costs most founders overlook. For a fixed-fee quote for your state, see our LLP registration service.
| Setup | Total cost (₹) |
|---|---|
| DIY (own DSC + lawyer drafted agreement) | ₹5,000 – ₹8,000 |
| Taxpex managed (flat professional + actuals) | ₹7,500 – ₹13,000 |
| Premium law firm | ₹25,000 – ₹50,000 |
Every designated partner needs a Class-3 DSC for signing MCA forms. Cost: ₹600–₹1,000 per DSC, valid for 2 years. For a typical 2-partner LLP, budget ₹1,200–₹2,000.
DPIN is allotted through the FiLLiP form itself — no separate fee. If you apply via a standalone Form DIR-3, it costs ₹500 per DPIN.
MCA charges ₹200 for the RUN-LLP form — covers up to 2 proposed names. If both are rejected, you re-file with another ₹200 fee. Reserved names are valid for 90 days.
This is the largest variable. Government fee depends on the LLP's total capital contribution at incorporation:
| Total contribution | FiLLiP government fee |
|---|---|
| Up to ₹1 lakh | ₹500 |
| ₹1 lakh – ₹5 lakh | ₹2,000 |
| ₹5 lakh – ₹10 lakh | ₹4,000 |
| Above ₹10 lakh | ₹5,000 |
Most consultancies start with ₹10,000–₹50,000 of capital contribution to keep the FiLLiP fee at ₹500. You can increase contribution later via a supplementary LLP Agreement.
Every LLP Agreement must be executed on stamp paper. Stamp duty varies sharply by state and is calculated on the capital contribution amount. Approximate rates for ₹1 lakh contribution:
| State | Stamp duty (₹) |
|---|---|
| Delhi | ₹1,000 (1% of contribution) |
| Maharashtra | ₹1,000 (1%) or ₹500 minimum |
| Karnataka | ₹1,000 (1%) capped at ₹10,000 |
| Tamil Nadu | ₹300 fixed |
| Uttar Pradesh | ₹750 (cap varies) |
| Gujarat | ₹1,000 (1%) capped at ₹10,000 |
| West Bengal | ₹150 fixed for the first ₹1L slab |
| Telangana | ₹500 fixed (up to ₹1L contribution) |
These are indicative; states revise duty schedules from time to time. Always confirm the current rate with a CA before paying.
Filing the executed LLP Agreement with MCA via Form 3 costs ₹50–₹150 depending on the contribution slab. Must be filed within 30 days of incorporation, else ₹100/day late fee with no cap.
This is where pricing varies the most. A DIY filing with a CS-drafted agreement costs ₹2,000–₹4,000 in professional fees; a managed service like Taxpex offers flat ₹5,999 covering DSC, name approval, FiLLiP, COI and a custom LLP Agreement; premium law firms charge ₹20,000–₹40,000+ for the same scope.
