Company Registration & Business Setup in Karnataka
Register your Private Limited, LLP or OPC in Karnataka with a team that stays on your file all year — fixed, all-inclusive fees and full clarity on Karnataka’s stamp duty, professional tax and incentive schemes.
Bengaluru is India’s IT and startup capital — the country’s largest tech-export and unicorn hub — while Mysuru and Hubballi are fast-growing secondary clusters. From Bengaluru, Mysuru, Mangaluru to the rest of Karnataka, we register your company end-to-end and stay on your GST, tax and annual filings afterwards — so you deal with one team, not a new person at every stage.
What company registration costs in Karnataka
| Professional fee (ApplyLegal) | ₹5,999 |
| Government charges — stamp duty, PAN, TAN, name reservation | ≈ ₹6,490 |
| All-inclusive, from | ₹12,489 |
MoA ₹1,000 + AoA ₹5,000 per ₹10 lakh of authorised capital (Karnataka Stamp Act, 2023 amendment). Government charges are indicative for a private limited company with ₹1 lakh authorised capital and are computed by MCA at filing; our professional fee is fixed. Excludes GST on our fee and additional DSCs where there are more than two directors. Karnataka levies higher incorporation stamp duty than most states, so the government portion is larger — the figure below is transparent, and it is a government charge, not our fee.

Starting professional fees; government stamp duty varies by state and authorised capital — see the Karnataka breakdown above. We also handle GST registration, trademark & IP, licences (FSSAI, IEC, Udyam), corporate finance and legal documentation across Karnataka — see all services.
Subsidies & incentives in Karnataka
Karnataka runs real incentives for new and growing businesses under the Karnataka Startup Policy 2022–27:

- 100% State-GST reimbursement for “Beyond Bengaluru” startups (turnover up to ₹1 crore) for the first 3 years

Structuring your unit to actually qualify — and filing the claims — is our wheelhouse. See Subsidy & Scheme Advisory.
Professional tax & ongoing compliance in Karnataka
Karnataka levies professional tax of up to ₹2,400 a year, deducted monthly from salaries. We register you for professional tax and handle the returns alongside GST, TDS and your annual ROC filings — so nothing slips once you’re incorporated.
You don’t need a local CA in Bengaluru
Company registration is a central Ministry of Corporate Affairs process, filed online through the SPICe+ portal — it works the same wherever you are in Karnataka. What genuinely varies by state is the stamp duty, the professional-tax position and the incentive schemes, and those are exactly the Karnataka-specific points set out above. You get a dedicated team from name reservation through incorporation and every filing after, with your documents handled digitally — no local office required, and one point of contact throughout.
