What are MCA and ROC Fees in India?

MCA fees refer to the statutory charges that the Ministry of Corporate Affairs levies when businesses submit forms, applications, or documents through the MCA 21 portal. These fees cover everything from annual return filings to incorporation applications to change-of-director intimations.

ROC fees refer to the charges collected by the Registrar of Companies, the regional authority operating under MCA, for registering, processing, and maintaining company records. Since ROC operates as the implementation arm of MCA at the state level, ROC fees and MCA fees often overlap. However, ROC also collects certain state-specific charges, stamp duties, and inspection fees that go beyond standard MCA filings.

The legal foundation for these fees comes from the Companies Act, 2013 (for companies) and the Limited Liability Partnership Act, 2008 (for LLPs). The MCA periodically revises fee schedules through official notifications, and staying updated on the latest fee structure remains critical for every business operating in India.

MCA vs ROC Fees — Detailed Comparison

Many business owners and professionals use the terms "MCA fees" and "ROC fees" interchangeably. While they are closely related, understanding the differences helps you use the ROC & MCA fees calculator more effectively.

Parameter MCA Fees ROC Fees
Governing Body Central Government (MCA, New Delhi) Regional ROC offices across India
Applicable Law Companies Act, 2013; LLP Act, 2008 Companies Act, 2013; LLP Act, 2008
Scope All statutory e-filings (forms, applications, returns) Registration, incorporation, annual filings, event-based filings
Fee Basis Form type + Authorized capital slab Form type + Authorized capital slab + State-specific charges
Stamp Duty Not included (separate from MCA fees) May include state-level stamp duty in certain filings
Inspection/Certified Copies Charged separately ROC charges fees for physical inspection and certified copies
Who Pays Companies, LLPs, foreign companies Companies, LLPs, foreign companies

Key Takeaway: MCA fees are the government charges you pay while filing forms online. ROC fees combine MCA fees plus any additional regional charges that the Registrar's office levies. Therefore, when you use an MCA/ROC fees calculator, you typically get the combined fee estimate covering both components.

Types of MCA & ROC Fees in India

The MCA fees calculator covers three primary fee types that every Indian business encounters.

1. MCA Filing Fees

MCA filing fees vary based on two main factors: the type of form and your company's authorized share capital. You can use our MCA filing fees calculator to check the exact fee for any specific form based on your authorized capital.

For example, filing Form AOC-4 (financial statements) costs ₹200 for a company with authorized capital up to ₹1,00,000, while a company with authorized capital exceeding ₹25 crore pays ₹600 for the same form. The MCA has defined clear capital-based slabs that determine your filing fee for each form.

2. ROC Filing Fees

The ROC filing fees calculator helps you determine both LLP and company registration fees. For LLPs, the fee structure follows the LLP Act 2008 and uses contribution-based slabs instead of authorized capital slabs. ROC filing fees also include charges for obtaining certified copies of documents, inspection of company records, and registration of charges.

The ROC incorporation fees calculator specifically helps new businesses estimate the total government cost of registering a company or LLP with the ROC office.

3. Late Filing Fees (Penalty)

Under the Companies Act, 2013, the standard late fee for filing most MCA and ROC forms is ₹100 per day of delay. This daily penalty continues accumulating from the day after the due date until the actual filing date. For an LLP that files Form 11 (Annual Return) 3 months late, the penalty alone can exceed ₹9,000, on top of the normal filing fee.

The ROC late fee calculator works the same way, calculating the total penalty based on the number of days you have delayed your filing. Some forms carry different penalty structures, which the calculator accounts for automatically.

Important: The MCA has, on occasion, introduced Condonation of Delay (CODS) schemes that waive or reduce late fees for a limited period. However, these schemes are temporary and cannot be relied upon as a regular compliance strategy. Know about detailed post-incorporation requirements, starting with Pvt Ltd Company Compliance, with expert assistance from RegisterKaro.

MCA Filing Fees Breakdown

The MCA form fees calculator breaks down fees into three clear components.

1. Normal Filing Fees

Normal filing fees follow the authorized capital slab structure prescribed by the MCA. Here is the standard fee table applicable to most e-forms:

Authorized Capital Slab Filing Fee per Form
Up to ₹1,00,000 ₹200
₹1,00,001 to ₹4,99,999 ₹300
₹5,00,000 to ₹24,99,999 ₹400
₹25,00,000 to ₹99,99,999 ₹500
₹1,00,00,000 and above ₹600

These slabs apply to most routine annual filings. Certain special forms like INC-28 (amalgamation), SH-7 (change in authorized capital), and CHG-1 (creation of charge) may carry different fee structures. The MCA 21 fee calculator accounts for these variations automatically.

Late fee for LLP forms is also ₹100 per day of delay, making the ROC late fees calculator equally important for LLP compliance.

2. Form-wise Fees (AOC-4, MGT-7, etc.)

Different MCA forms carry different fee levels based on their nature and complexity. Here is a breakdown of commonly filed forms:

Category Form Fee Structure Due Date / Timeline
Annual Filing Forms
  • AOC-4 / AOC-4 CFS
  • MGT-7 / MGT-7A
Normal filing fee as per the capital slab above
  1. Within 30 days of AGM
  2. Within 60 days of AGM
Director & KYC Forms DIR-3 KYC ₹0 before due date; ₹5,000 after due date Due by 30th September
Incorporation & Post-Incorporation Forms
  • INC-20A
  • ADT-1
  1. ₹500
  2. Normal filing fee as per the capital slab
  1. Within 180 days of incorporation
  2. Within 15 days of AGM
Event-based Forms
  • DIR-12
  • INC-22
  • SH-7
  • CHG-1
  1. Normal filing fee as per the capital slab
  2. Fee linked to increase amount
  3. Fee based on the amount of charge secured
  1. Within 30 days of the change
  2. As applicable
  3. As applicable
  4. As applicable

You can use the MCA filing fees calculator to check the exact fee for any form by selecting it from the dropdown menu.

3. Additional Fees for Delays

The MCA imposes additional fees (late filing penalties) at the rate of ₹100 per day for most forms filed after the due date. This penalty applies uniformly to companies of all sizes — whether your authorized capital is ₹1 lakh or ₹100 crore.

Example Calculation: If your company (authorized capital ₹10 lakh) files AOC-4 45 days after the due date:

  • Normal Filing Fee: ₹400
  • Late Fee: 45 days × ₹100 = ₹4,500
  • Total Payable: 4,500 + 400 = ₹4,900

The MCA late fees calculator performs this computation instantly, saving you from manual errors.

Special Cases:

  • DIR-3 KYC: Flat ₹5,000 penalty per DIN (no daily calculation).
  • DPT-3 (Return of Deposits): ₹100/day late fee applies.

ROC Filing Fees Breakdown

The ROC fees calculator covers three distinct categories of ROC filings. Each category follows a different fee logic.

1. Company Filing Fees

ROC charges filing fees for all company-related forms submitted through MCA 21. The fee structure mirrors the MCA filing fee slabs based on authorized capital. Key company filings and their fee structures include incorporation fees (SPICe+ form), annual compliance fees (AOC-4 and MGT-7 form), and change/event fees (change in director, registered office, etc.)

Our ROC fees calculator, as per the Companies Act, 2013, in our tool applies the exact fee schedule prescribed under the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014.

2. LLP Filing Fees

LLPs follow a separate fee structure under the LLP Act, 2008. Instead of authorized capital, LLP fees are based on the total contribution of partners.

Total Contribution of LLP Filing Fee per Form
Up to ₹1,00,000 ₹50
₹1,00,001 to ₹5,00,000 ₹100
₹5,00,001 to ₹10,00,000 ₹150
₹10,00,001 and above ₹200

Key LLP Forms:

  • Form 8 (Statement of Account & Solvency): Due within 30 days from the end of the 6 months of the financial year closure.
  • Form 11 (Annual Return): Due within 60 days from the end of the financial year.

3. Event-based Filing Fees

Event-based filings occur when a specific corporate event triggers a mandatory ROC filing. These include:

  • Allotment of Shares (PAS-3): Filed within 30 days of allotment. Fee based on capital slab.
  • Creation/Modification of Charge (CHG-1/CHG-4): Fee varies based on the amount of charge.
  • Shifting of Registered Office (INC-22/INC-23): Standard filing fee applies; INC-23 (shifting outside state) carries an additional tribunal fee.
  • Conversion of Company Type (INC-27): Filing fee based on capital slab.
  • Strike Off Application (STK-2): ₹5,000 for companies; ₹3,000 for LLPs.

The ROC annual filing and event-based filing fees within our tool cover all these scenarios, helping you calculate ROC fees for any filing situation.

How to Calculate MCA & ROC Fees?

Calculating MCA and ROC fees manually requires you to gather certain details about your company and then use a fixed formula. Apply this formula to calculate the MCA/ROC fees:

Total Fee = Normal Filing Fee (based on capital slab) + (Number of Delay Days × ₹100)

Example of MCA & ROC Fees Calculation

Scenario: XYZ Private Limited (authorized capital ₹50,00,000) needs to file MGT-7 (Annual Return). The due date was 28th November 2024, but the company is filing on 15th January 2025.

  • Entity Type: Private Limited Company
  • Form: MGT-7
  • Authorized Capital: ₹50,00,000 (falls in ₹25,00,000 to ₹99,99,999 slab)
  • Normal Filing Fee: ₹500
  • Due Date: 28th November 2024
  • Actual Filing Date: 15th January 2025
  • Days of Delay: 48 days
  • Late Fee: 48 × ₹100 = ₹4,800
  • Total Fee Payable: ₹500 + ₹4,800 = ₹5,300

Using RegisterKaro's MCA and ROC fees calculator, you get this result in under 5 seconds without any manual counting, slab lookup, and most importantly, without errors.

Factors Affecting MCA & ROC Fees Under Companies Act, 2013

Multiple variables influence the total fee you pay when filing with MCA or ROC. Understanding these factors helps you use the MCA fee calculator more effectively and plan your filings strategically.

a. Type of Entity (Company / LLP)

Your entity type directly determines the fee slab structure. Companies (Private, Public, OPC, Section 8) follow authorized capital-based slabs under the Companies Act, 2013. LLPs follow contribution-based slabs under the LLP Act, 2008. Section 8 companies enjoy reduced fees for certain filings. OPCs file simplified forms like MGT-7A at lower costs.

b. Form Type

Each form carries a different base fee. Annual filing forms like AOC-4 and MGT-7 follow standard capital slabs. Special forms like SH-7 (capital increase) carry fees proportional to the transaction value. Some forms like DIR-3 KYC have unique fee structures (₹0 if on time, ₹5,000 if late). The MCA form fees calculator accounts for these differences automatically.

c. Authorized Capital

Authorized capital is the single biggest determinant of filing fees for companies. A company with ₹1 lakh authorized capital pays ₹200 per form, while a company with ₹5 crore authorized capital pays ₹600 per form. For LLPs, the total contribution of partners serves the same function. Higher capital means higher fees across all filings.

d. Delay in Filing

Delay transforms a routine ₹200-₹600 filing into a multi-thousand-rupee expense. With penalties accumulating at ₹100 per day, even a 30-day delay adds ₹3,000 to your cost. The MCA late fees calculator shows you exactly how much each day of delay costs, motivating timely compliance.

e. State (for Stamp Duty Cases)

Certain filings, especially incorporation (SPICe+), increase in authorized capital (SH-7), and charge registration, attract stamp duty that varies by state. Maharashtra, Karnataka, Delhi, and Tamil Nadu have different stamp duty rates. While stamp duty is technically separate from MCA/ROC fees, it adds to the total cost of filing and must be factored into your budget.

Estimated MCA & ROC Filing Fees in India: Different Forms Cost Breakdown

Here is a quick-reference table showing estimated total fees for the most common filings. Use the ROC fees calculator for exact figures based on your specific details.

Filing Type Entity Normal Fee Range Late Fee (30-day delay) Total Estimate (with 30-day delay)

MGT-7 (Annual Return) Private Ltd (₹10L capital) ₹400 ₹3,000 ₹3,400
MGT-7A (Annual Return — Small Co.) OPC / Small Company ₹200 ₹3,000 ₹3,200
DIR-3 KYC All Companies ₹0 ₹5,000 (flat) ₹5,000
ADT-1 (Auditor Appointment) All Companies ₹200–₹600 ₹3,000 ₹3,200–₹3,600
Form 8 (LLP Statement) LLP ₹50–₹200 ₹3,000 ₹3,050–₹3,200
Form 11 (LLP Annual Return) LLP ₹50–₹200 ₹3,000 ₹3,050–₹3,200
INC-20A (Commencement of Business) Private Ltd / Public Ltd ₹500 ₹3,000 ₹3,500
SPICe+ (Incorporation) New Company ₹500–₹15,000 N/A (at incorporation) ₹500–₹15,000 + Stamp Duty
SH-7 (Capital Increase) All Companies ₹500–₹25,00,000+ ₹3,000 Variable

These figures give you a directional estimate. The actual amount depends on your specific authorized capital, contribution amount, and exact filing date. Calculate MCA fees accurately using RegisterKaro's free MCA/ROC Fees Calculator.
