What’s the cost of ROC Compliance Sec 8 NPO

— Mithun

2

The ROC costs for a Section 8 company vary significantly based on the consultant’s expertise, the city of operation, and the entity’s functional complexity. Based on my experience with small-scale firms, you can expect the following averages:

  • Incorporation: Approximately ₹30,000 (one-time setup).

  • Annual Compliance: Ranges between ₹20,000 and ₹30,000 (including audit and filings).

  • Regional Variation: Location plays a major role; for instance, consulting fees in Ahmedabad tend to be much more competitive compared to hubs like Bangalore.

For voluntary strike off of name from ROC, the official fee for Form STK-2 is Rs.10,000/-. Necessary procedural compliances for removal of names will have to be fulfilled. Other costs like dues for overdue filings, professional support etc will be extra.
