Planning to register your business as an LLP? Then, you must know about the LLP registration fees, meaning the MCA government fees, state stamp duty, and other charges that together make up the LLP registration cost in India.
Do not proceed before you have full clarity on this subject. Firstly, if you’re unaware of the standard government fee and stamp duty, your service provider can extract excessive money from you. Secondly, understanding the total estimated cost will further help you to plan your budget. This is because some of the Indian states levy a heavy stamp duty, which requires prior financial planning.
This blog provides a crisp breakdown of LLP registration fees in India, updated for 2026, including LLP incorporation fees and the cost of LLP registration.
Quick answer
The LLP company registration cost in India comes to roughly ₹10,000 to ₹25,000 for most startups, covering MCA fees, stamp duty, DSC, and professional fees.
MCA charges ₹200 for name reservation (RUN-LLP), ₹500 to ₹25,000 for the FiLLiP incorporation form based on contribution, and ₹50 to ₹600 for filing the LLP Agreement (Form 3). Stamp duty is extra and depends on your state.
What Are the LLP Registration Fees in India?
LLP registration fees in India are made up of MCA government fees, state-level stamp duty and service charges.
Government Fee
Government fee can be viewed as the first LLP registration fee category. Planned by the MCA, it remains uniform all over India. It is generally incurred based on a percentage of the company’s key contribution. For example, an LLP whose contribution does not exceed ₹1 lakh, needs to pay a government fee of ₹500. Similarly, as the contribution increases, so does its government fee structure.
Stamp Duty
Stamp duties are the second category of LLP registration fees in India. Unlike Government fees, which are levied centrally, stamp duties are levied by the State Government. Hence, it varies from state to state. Some Indian states possess a uniform stamp duty, and for some states, the stamp duty also depends on the LLP’s financial contribution. A vivid stamp duty structure has further been added under this blog.
Stamp duty on LLP agreement is levied by each state under its own Stamp Act, which is why the same LLP can pay very different amounts in different states.
Some states charge a flat amount. Others, such as Maharashtra and Delhi, charge a percentage of your contribution up to a cap. The LLP stamp duty is paid on the LLP Agreement, not on the MCA filing.
Professional Fee
The professional fee varies as a whole. Be it LLP registration or OPC registration or Private Limited Registration, professional fees depend on the service provider you will be opting for and the quality of service they provide. However, each state/city/location has its competitive price rate. Directly contact the service provider to know that.

How to figure out the professional charges from an LLP fee package, as provided by the service providers?
Professional Fee = Proposed Service Charges – Government fee – Stamp Duty – Miscellaneous Fee
It would be suggestible to compare the various price ranges to get the best price offer governing professional fees (also focus on the quality and experience of the service provider).
Miscellaneous Fee
The cost of the Memorandum of Association, notarization fees, digital signature fees, LLP PAN and TAN number fees, and bank account setup fees are additional costs associated with the LLP registration fee in India. These are just a few extra costs, which are completely minimal. However, the cost of a DSC (Digital Signature Certificate) can be over ₹1,000, depending on the service provider. The more partners in an LLP, the higher will its cost become (this is because each partner needs to provide their DSC during the LLP registration process).

Hidden Costs of an LLP: What Your Quote Won’t Show
The registration fee is only part of what an LLP costs, so here are the charges most quotes leave out.
- Form 3 late fee: miss the 30-day window and ₹100 per day applies from day 31, with no upper cap. A one-month delay can cost ₹3,000 or more.
- DSC renewal: certificates expire (typically after 1 to 3 years) and every partner needs a valid one to sign any later form.
- LLP agreement drafting: a template agreement is cheap, but a custom one covering exit, deadlock, profit sharing and capital calls costs more and protects far more. Without a filed agreement, the LLP Act’s default terms apply, such as equal profit sharing.
- Notarisation, bank account and minimum balance: small amounts that add up across partners.
- Annual compliance: Form 8 and Form 11 are due every year, and each attracts ₹100 per day late fee with no cap. See our list of mandatory annual compliances for LLP.
- Audit: an LLP with turnover above ₹40 lakh or contribution above ₹25 lakh needs a statutory audit.
- Other registrations: GST, Shops & Establishment, trademark and so on are separate costs.
Why Your Capital Contribution Is a Cost Decision, Not Just a Number ?
Your declared contribution drives three costs at once: the FiLLiP fee, the Form 3 fee, and in many states the stamp duty. Founders often assume a bigger number looks more credible, but over-declaring raises registration costs permanently. Under-declaring has its own problem, because banks, vendors and partners read contribution as a sign of commitment.
Our practical rule at Actax: declare what you will realistically bring in during year one, and increase it later through an LLP agreement amendment (Form 3) as the business grows.
