What changes the cost?
- Your state
Stamp duty on the MOA, AOA and SPICe+ form is a state levy. The same OPC costs different amounts in Maharashtra, Karnataka and Delhi.
- Authorised capital
Stamp duty rises with capital in most states. ₹1 lakh is enough to start and can be increased later.
- Digital signatures
An OPC needs one director's DSC. If the nominee also becomes a director later, a second DSC is added then, not now.
- The plan you choose
Starter covers incorporation and the nominee consent. Growth adds GST and Udyam registration, the share certificate and bank account help. Complete adds INC-20A, the auditor appointment and a 12-month compliance calendar.
- NRI founder
An NRI can form an OPC, but documents attested abroad and a longer DSC process add cost and a week or two. We quote that on the call.
What is not included
- The statutory audit fee, quoted by the independent auditor after incorporation
- Attestation of documents for an NRI founder
- Registered office rental or a virtual office address
- Professional tax, Shop and Establishment and other state registrations

Questions founders ask about OPC cost
Is an OPC cheaper to register than a Private Limited Company?
What is the government fee for OPC registration?
The MCA incorporation fee is nil up to ₹15 lakh authorised capital. You pay stamp duty on the MOA, AOA and SPICe+ form to your state, the PAN and TAN fee, and the digital signature from a certifying authority. Each line is shown for your state in the estimator.
Does the nominee cost anything?
No. The nominee's consent is filed in Form INC-3 with the incorporation, and there is no fee for it. The nominee needs a PAN and Aadhaar but not a digital signature or a DIN, because they only step in if the member dies or becomes incapacitated.
Is GST charged on the fee?
GST at 18% applies on our professional fee. Stamp duty, PAN and TAN and the DSC are government-side costs without GST. If your OPC registers for GST, the GST on our fee is claimable as input credit.
What changes if I set higher authorised capital?
Only stamp duty, in most states, until you cross ₹15 lakh, where the MCA fee starts. Authorised capital is a ceiling, not money you must deposit; paid-up capital can be ₹10,000. Most founders start at ₹1 lakh.
What does an OPC cost to run each year?
Plan for ₹12,000 to ₹18,000 a year: the statutory audit, AOC-4 and MGT-7A, DIR-3 KYC for you as director, and the income tax return. There is no AGM. GST returns are extra if registered. Our company annual filings page prices this the same way.
