Planning to register your business within the scope of the LLP structure? Then, you must know about the LLP registration fees. 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.
What Are the LLP Registration Fees in India?
What All Fees are Included in LLP Registration in India?
Three main fee breakdowns are included within the scope of LLP Registration in India, other than the miscellaneous fee. Each of them has been described briefly in the section hereunder.
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. A vivid Government fee structure has been added under this blog only.
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.
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).
