Government fee — paid by you at actuals
The MCA filing fee on INC-20A runs from ₹200 to ₹500 depending on your authorised share capital slab, plus an additional fee of ₹100 per day if you are already past the 180-day deadline. Both are paid to the government at actuals, over and above our professional fee. Where the form is already late we compute the additional fee as at the filing date and tell you the number before you commit to anything.
Every price above is a professional fee, excluding GST and government charges. 50% on delivery.
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.
The amount credited must match the subscription in the memorandum and must come from each subscriber's own account. This cannot be backdated, so it gets fixed first if it is missing.
We draft the board resolution authorising the filing and prepare the declaration under Section 10A.
The form is certified by a practising professional before it goes on record.
Filed with MCA against your DSC, with the bank statement evidencing receipt of subscription money from each subscriber attached.
If the Registrar has already issued an adjudication notice under Section 454, we deal with it. If not, we put the rest of your first-year calendar in place.

A declaration that the shareholders actually paid for their shares. Under Section 10A of the Companies Act, a company registered with share capital cannot commence business or borrow anything until a director files a declaration confirming that every subscriber to the memorandum has paid the value of the shares they agreed to take. You declared ₹1,00,000 of paid-up capital at incorporation; the government wants to see that ₹1,00,000 land in the company's bank account, from the shareholders, before you trade.
₹50,000 on the company. ₹1,000 per day on every officer in default, capped at ₹1,00,000. An additional fee of ₹100 per day on the form itself. And the one nobody mentions — the Registrar may initiate action to strike your company off under Section 248, on the reasonable ground that it is not carrying on business. A company that never filed INC-20A and never filed its annual returns is precisely what a strike-off drive is designed to catch.
Commence any business operations, or exercise any borrowing powers — no loan, no credit line, no director's loan drawn as borrowing. Your bank will open a current account on the certificate of incorporation alone and plenty of founders start trading the same week. That does not make it lawful. It becomes a disclosed non-compliance the first time an investor, a lender or an acquirer reads your file, and the fix is retrospective while the dates do not lie.
Bank proof. The amount credited must match the subscription in the memorandum, and it must come from each subscriber's own account. What does not work: one founder transferring the whole amount for both shareholders, money routed through a third party, a round figure that does not tie to the shareholding split, cash deposits. If your subscription money went in the wrong way, we tell you before we file, not after the form is returned.
The additional fee and the officer penalty both accrue daily and neither stops until the form is on record. In order: confirm the subscription money is actually in the account, compute the additional fee as at the filing date so you know the number before you commit, file with the bank proof, then deal with any adjudication notice under Section 454 if the Registrar has already issued one.
CCFS-2026, running to 31 August 2026, covers overdue annual filings under Sections 92 and 137, dormant status and strike off. INC-20A carries its full additional fee.
INC-20A is the first of several. Within the first year a new private limited company also needs the first auditor appointed within 30 days of incorporation, ADT-1 filed, DIR-3 KYC for every director, AOC-4 and MGT-7 or MGT-7A after the first AGM, and its first ITR-6. Our Growth and Complete plans cover that whole calendar so you are not doing this again in nine months.
