Company Registration Cost in Assam

Last updated 24 August 2026

What company registration costs in Assam — the components

Like anywhere in India, your Assam company registration bill has three moving parts: a professional fee, MCA government filing fees, and state stamp duty. The professional fee and MCA fee structure are the same nationally — what changes state to state is stamp duty, and in Assam's case, an additional recurring Professional Tax that founders should plan for after incorporation.

Professional fee (fixed, regardless of state)

Shunya charges a flat professional fee of ₹1,999 for company registration in Assam, the same as anywhere else in India — whether you're registering a Private Limited Company, an LLP, or an OPC. This fee covers preparing your application, filing it with the MCA, and handling any queries the government raises. Government fees and stamp duty are always billed separately, so you can see exactly what portion goes to the government.

MCA government filing fee (national, not Assam-specific)

The MCA's filing fee structure is set nationally and does not change based on which state your registered office is in. For a modest authorized capital, this fee is often minimal under current rules, and it can increase as your authorized capital rises. This part of the cost is identical whether you register in Assam, Delhi, or Bengaluru.

Assam stamp duty — approximately ₹525 for a Pvt Ltd company

Stamp duty is where state-specific cost actually diverges. For a Private Limited Company in Assam with ₹1 lakh authorized capital, stamp duty works out to around ₹525 in total — a flat ₹200 for the Memorandum of Association plus a flat ₹310 for the Articles of Association. Treat this as an approximate, typical figure rather than a guaranteed final number: stamp duty rules can vary with specific document wording and are always confirmed exactly during your consultation, before you pay anything beyond the professional fee.

For an LLP, Assam stamp duty on the LLP agreement is approximately ₹100, which is typically lower than the Pvt Ltd stamp duty total described above.

Professional Tax in Assam

Unlike some states that charge no Professional Tax at all, Assam does levy it. This isn't part of the one-time registration cost — it's a recurring post-incorporation compliance item that applies to companies and employees. Your CA can walk you through the applicable slabs and how it affects your ongoing compliance once your company is registered.

A note on Assam's RoC jurisdiction

We want to be upfront here rather than guess: our sources are not fully aligned on which specific Registrar of Companies office handles Assam filings. Assam's company filings are typically routed through the Northeast regional RoC network — either the RoC at Shillong, which serves several Northeast states, or the RoC at Guwahati, specifically for Assam — and which one applies can depend on your registered office address and the current MCA jurisdictional setup. Rather than state a single confirmed office and risk being wrong, we'll say it plainly: your CA will confirm the exact filing office that applies to you during your consultation, before anything is filed. This has no bearing on your registration cost, only on which office processes your paperwork.

Cost by business structure in Assam

Private Limited Company

The most common structure for startups and growing businesses in Assam, offering limited liability and easier access to funding. Expect the approximately ₹525 stamp duty figure described above, on top of the professional fee and national MCA fee.

LLP

An LLP in Assam generally works out lighter on stamp duty, at approximately ₹100, making it a reasonable choice for professional services firms not planning to raise institutional funding.

One Person Company (OPC)

An OPC is registered by a single founder but is treated similarly to a Private Limited Company for incorporation purposes, so its Assam cost profile is close to the Pvt Ltd figures above.

How Shunya prices Assam company registration

Shunya keeps this simple and transparent, in Assam and everywhere else:

1. Professional fee: a flat ₹1,999, regardless of structure or which part of Assam your registered office is in.
2. Government fees and Assam stamp duty: billed separately at actual cost, confirmed for your authorized capital before you pay.
3. No hidden charges added after you've already committed.

Turnaround is 7 to 10 working days for a standard incorporation. If it takes longer than 15 working days from the date you submit complete documents, Shunya waives the professional fee.
