How MCA Filing Fees Are Calculated
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) charges a government fee for every e-Form filed through the MCA V3 portal. The fee has two components: a normal (base) fee and a late fee that applies when a form is filed after its due date.
For most forms, the normal fee is determined by the company's authorised share capital — companies with smaller capital pay lower fees. This is called the capital slab system. For LLP forms, the fee is based on the total partner contribution instead.
The late fee structure differs by form category:
- Annual return forms (AOC-4, MGT-7, MGT-7A, LLP Form 8, LLP Form 11): ₹100 per day beyond the due date, in addition to the normal fee.
- All other forms (DIR-12, SH-7, PAS-3, INC-22, INC-24, CHG-1, etc.): The normal fee is multiplied by a factor that increases with the length of the delay (see table below).
- DIR-3 KYC: No fee if filed by 30 September; a flat ₹5,000 late fee applies regardless of how many days late.
- SPICe+ company registration: No late fee concept — incorporation is a one-time filing. The MCA fee is NIL for capital up to ₹15 lakh under G.S.R. 380(E). State stamp duty is always payable separately.
MCA Late Fee Multiplier Table
For most non-annual-return forms, the total fee = normal fee × multiplier. The multiplier depends on how many days past the due date the form is filed.
| Period of delay | Fee multiplier | Annual returns (daily) |
|---|---|---|
| On time | 1× | ₹0/day |
| Up to 30 days | 2× | ₹100/day* |
| 31–60 days | 4× | ₹100/day* |
| 61–90 days | 6× | ₹100/day* |
| 91–180 days | 10× | ₹100/day* |
| Beyond 180 days | 12× | ₹100/day* |
*The ₹100/day rate applies to AOC-4, MGT-7, MGT-7A, LLP Form 8, and LLP Form 11. For LLP forms beyond 360 days late, an additional daily fee of ₹10/day (small LLP) or ₹25/day (other LLP) applies on top of the slab multiplier.

MCA Capital Slab Fee — How It Works
For most forms, the base government fee is looked up from a fee schedule that groups companies by authorised share capital into slabs. A company with ₹1 lakh authorised capital pays a lower base fee than one with ₹10 crore. The slabs are defined under the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014 and theLLP (Filing of Documents and Forms in Uniform Format) Rules, 2009.
The fee is not proportional to capital — it increases in steps. For example, the same base fee applies whether your capital is ₹1 lakh or ₹4.99 lakh. This means the per-rupee cost of being in the lowest slab is much higher than for companies with larger capital — a quirk of the MCA fee structure that catches many early-stage startups by surprise.
The MCA fees calculator above uses the exact slab schedule from the MCA rules to compute the base fee for any form and capital amount — no rounding, no estimates.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the MCA filing fee calculated?
MCA filing fees are calculated using a share capital slab system. The base government fee depends on the company's authorised share capital — companies with lower capital pay a lower base fee. For annual return forms (AOC-4, MGT-7, MGT-7A), an additional late fee of ₹100 per day applies after the due date. For most other forms, the late fee is a multiplier on the normal fee: 2x for up to 30 days late, 4x for 31–60 days, 6x for 61–90 days, 10x for 91–180 days, and 12x beyond 180 days.
What is the MCA late fee for AOC-4 and MGT-7?
For AOC-4 (financial statements) and MGT-7/MGT-7A (annual return), the late fee is ₹100 per day beyond the due date, in addition to the normal government fee based on authorised share capital. The due date for AOC-4 is 60 days after the AGM (typically 29 November for a 30 September AGM). For MGT-7A, the deadline is also 60 days after the AGM.
What is the MCA fee for SPICe+ company registration?
For companies with authorised capital up to ₹15 lakh, the MCA government fee for SPICe+ (MoA + AoA registration) is NIL under the G.S.R. 380(E) waiver — you pay only the ₹66 PAN + TAN fee. For capital above ₹15 lakh, you pay the MoA registration fee (an incremental formula based on capital), the AoA registration fee (a slab-based fee), and the SPICe+ Part B form fee. Stamp duty (state-level) is always payable separately, regardless of the NIL-fee waiver.
Is there a government fee for DIR-3 KYC filing?
No, there is no government fee for DIR-3 KYC if filed on or before 30 September each year. However, if filed after 30 September, a flat late fee of ₹5,000 per DIN applies — regardless of how many days late. There is no daily accrual; the full ₹5,000 becomes due the moment the deadline passes.
What is the MCA fee for CHG-1 (charge creation)?
The CHG-1 normal fee is based on the company's authorised share capital slab. If filed within 30 days of charge creation, only the normal fee is payable. Between 31 and 60 days, a late multiplier applies. Beyond 60 days, ad-valorem fees based on the amount secured apply and require MCA verification. Beyond 120 days, Central Government approval is required before filing.
How much is the MCA fee for DIR-12 (director appointment or resignation)?
The DIR-12 base fee is calculated on the company's authorised share capital slab. The form must be filed within 30 days of the event (appointment, resignation, or change). If filed late, the late fee is a multiplier: 2x for 1–30 days late, 4x for 31–60 days, 6x for 61–90 days, 10x for 91–180 days, and 12x beyond 180 days.
What is an ROC fees calculator?
An ROC fees calculator (also called an MCA fees calculator) is a tool that computes the government fee payable to the Registrar of Companies (ROC) for filing a specific MCA form. The fee depends on the form type, the company's authorised share capital, and whether the filing is on time or late. Leagully's free MCA fees calculator covers 30+ forms including SPICe+, AOC-4, MGT-7A, DIR-3 KYC, CHG-1, and LLP forms.
