Business Setup in India
Starting a business in India is an exciting journey, but it requires careful planning regarding legal structures and costs. The choice of business entity affects everything from your personal liability to your tax obligations and ability to raise capital.
Legal Structure
Choose between Private Limited, LLP, OPC, or Partnership based on your scale and goals.
Capital Requirement
Authorized capital determines your government fees and stamp duty in most states.
How the Calculator Works
1. Government Fee Calculation
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) charges fees based on the authorized capital and the type of company. Our tool uses the latest fee slabs.
2. Stamp Duty Estimation
Stamp duty is a state-level tax. It varies significantly from state to state (e.g., Delhi vs. Maharashtra). We calculate this based on your selected state.
Typical Cost Components
| Component | Description | Approx. Range |
|---|---|---|
| Digital Signature (DSC) | Required for all directors/partners for online filing | ₹1,500 - ₹2,500 |
| Director ID (DIN) | Unique ID for company directors | ₹500 per director |
| Name Approval | RUN service fee for reserving company name | ₹1,000 |
| MoA/AoA Drafting | Legal drafting of company constitution | ₹2,000 - ₹5,000 |
| Professional Fees | CA/CS/Lawyer charges for filing and certification | ₹5,000 - ₹15,000 |
Cost Comparison Across Entities
Compare the estimated initial setup costs and annual compliance requirements for different business structures in India.
| Entity Type | Setup Cost | Compliance | Audit Req. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private Limited | ₹10k - ₹15k | High | Mandatory |
| LLP | ₹5k - ₹8k | Medium | Turnover Based |
| OPC | ₹8k - ₹12k | Medium | Mandatory |
| Partnership | ₹3k - ₹5k | Low | Tax Audit Only |

Choosing the Right Entity
Private Limited
Best for startups seeking VC funding. Offers limited liability and high credibility.
LLP (Limited Liability Partnership)
Ideal for professional services. Lower compliance costs than a company.
OPC (One Person Company)
Perfect for solo entrepreneurs who want the benefits of a corporate structure.
Partnership Firm
Simple to set up but partners have unlimited liability. Good for small local businesses.
