Private Limited Company Registration Cost in Puducherry

Registering a Private Limited in Puducherry typically attracts ₹510 in incorporation stamp duty at ₹1 lakh authorised capital, as per commonly published rates — confirm with the Puducherry stamp office. Add a Digital Signature Certificate for each director (about ₹1,500 each) and your CA's professional fee, and that's your all-in cost — the MCA government fee is nil up to ₹15 lakh of capital. In practice the Puducherry stamp duty is the main figure that sets a Private Limited apart from the same registration in another state.

That sits roughly mid-range for India, where the median state charges about ₹620 in stamp duty at ₹1 lakh authorised capital.

State stamp duty

Levied on incorporation by the state. The one component that changes from state to state, and the main driver of the total.

Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)

Each director or partner needs one to sign filings — roughly ₹1,500 each as a market estimate.

Professional / CA fee

What your CA or filing service charges to prepare and file the forms. Edit the field to match a real quote.

MCA government fee

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs charges nil for authorised capital up to ₹15 lakh, so most startups pay nothing here.

The default structure for startups that plan to raise equity — separate legal entity, limited liability, and the form investors expect.
