Your trademark status changed to Objected. That is not a rejection — it is the Registry raising a problem and giving you a month to answer it. Answer it properly and the mark goes to publication. Ignore it and the application is treated as abandoned, along with the filing fee you already paid.

There is no government fee for an objection reply. The entire cost is professional, which means you are only choosing how much work goes into the argument. If an extension of time becomes necessary, Form TM-M carries a ₹900 government fee, paid at actuals.

All fees and charges listed are indicative only and do not constitute a binding offer. Final amounts may vary depending on the volume of work and the complexity involved.
We pull the examination report and tell you three things: whether the objection is winnable, whether amending beats arguing, and whether the mark is worth defending at all.
Section 9 objections need distinctiveness and evidence. Section 11 objections need the cited marks distinguished one by one on look, sound, meaning and goods.
The reply drafted against the specific ground raised, with supporting material attached, and filed inside the one-month window.
If the reply is not accepted the Registrar gives an opportunity of hearing under Rule 33(6). Representation is included on the Complete plan.

The entire cost is professional. You are choosing how much work goes into the argument, not paying a Registry charge on top.
One month from receipt under Rule 33(4). Under Rule 18(2), where a document is served by email, service is deemed to happen at the time of sending — not when you read it.
Form TM-M under Section 131 buys up to one further month. The Registrar may refuse, and under Section 131(2) there is no appeal from that refusal.
The Registry sees thousands of replies that recite three paragraphs and attach nothing. Evidence is what does the work on a Section 9 objection.
Where a cited mark only blocks part of your specification, amending is often faster and cheaper than arguing. We will say so if that is the answer.
Sometimes the honest answer is to refile a different mark. We would rather say that than sell you a reply we expect to lose.
