GST Registration Fees: Government Cost vs Service Cost
Most confusion around 'GST registration fees' comes from mixing up two things. The government charges nothing to issue a GSTIN. What you pay a consultant is for preparing an error-free application, formatting documents correctly, and following up with the department. Our fee for that is published and starts at ₹399, with no surprise add-ons at the end.
Government fee: ₹0
Standard GST registration on the official portal carries no government fee. Anyone telling you otherwise is padding their invoice.
Our service fee: from ₹399
Covers consultation, document review, filing, and follow-up until your GSTIN is issued. See the Pricing page for what each tier includes.
No hidden charges
If the department raises a clarification, we handle the response as part of your original fee, not as a separate charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
No, GST registration itself is free of cost on the government portal. What you pay us covers document preparation, application filing, error-free submission, and follow-up with the GST department until your GSTIN is issued. Our GST Registration plan starts from ₹399.
Once you share your documents and complete payment, we prepare and file your application within 24 hours. After filing, the GST department typically issues the GSTIN within 3 to 7 working days if there are no clarification queries. Occasionally it takes longer if the officer asks for additional documents.
Our service fee covers the effort of preparing and filing your application correctly the first time. If a GST officer raises a clarification, we handle the response at no extra cost. Talk to our team about your specific situation. We'll always be upfront about what's recoverable and what's a government-side delay outside our control.
