What this calculator does

Estimate the ROC registration fee on a company's nominal share capital, applying a slab schedule to the capital you enter.

How this is calculated

The registration fee for a company with share capital depends on its nominal capital, and the schedule is banded rather than a single rate. This calculator applies the configured slab schedule to the capital you enter - each band at its own rate - and shows the resulting fee and the capital plus fee. Because the fee schedule is set by the rules, the model is a guide rather than the portal's final figure.

The formula

Fee = slab(nominal capital, brackets)

Common mistakes to avoid

• Confusing nominal and paid-up capital

  The fee is on nominal (authorised) capital, not on what has been paid up. Setting a high authorised capital raises the fee even if little is issued.

• Leaving stamp duty out of the budget

  Stamp duty on the authorised capital is separate and state-specific. The registration fee alone is not the cost.

• Treating the estimate as the portal's figure

  The fee schedule is set by the rules. Treat this as a guide and confirm the exact amount before filing.

Frequently asked

What is nominal capital?

The authorised share capital stated in the company's constitution - the maximum the company may issue without a further increase. The registration fee is based on it.

How is the registration fee calculated?

From a schedule banded on nominal capital. This calculator applies the configured bands to the capital you enter and returns the fee and the capital plus fee.

Is the fee higher for a large capital?

Yes. The fee rises with nominal capital, though the bands mean it does not rise in a straight line.

Does this include stamp duty?

No. Stamp duty on the authorised capital is a state charge and is separate. Use the stamp duty calculator for that.

Is the fee the same for every state?

The central registration fee is set by the MCA rules; stamp duty, which is separate, varies by state.
