Company Annual Filing Cost: ROC Fees, Audit Fees & Compliance Package
Virtual Auditor Free Beginner India
This is the year-one Indian Pvt Ltd number laid out line by line, in rupees, from a working CA firm: statutory audit 10,000 to 25,000, ROC professional fee 5,000 to 10,000 for AOC-4 and MGT-7A, ROC government fees 400 to 800, ITR-6 prep 5,000 to 10,000, and DIR-3 KYC for both directors. It lands the whole point: registration is cheap, but the total annual bill is 24,400 to 52,800 even for a small company at low revenue.
- A small Pvt Ltd (turnover up to 2 crore) runs 24,400 to 52,800 a year in total compliance, dominated by the mandatory statutory audit, not the one-time registration
- Statutory audit is compulsory for every private limited company from rupee one of revenue, unlike a proprietorship or LLP below thresholds
- Even a dormant company pays roughly 16,000 a year to stay compliant (audit, AOC-4, MGT-7A, ITR-6), so an idle entity is not a free entity
