What Is ROC Filing Fee

The ROC Filing Fee is the amount of money a company pays to the Registrar of Companies when it submits a form to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. This fee is based on how much capital the company has registered. If the form is filed after the due date, an extra charge called an additional fee is added on top of the base fee. The total amount a company owes depends on its size and how late the filing is.

How ROC Filing Fee Is Calculated

Formula

Total Fee = Base Filing Fee + (Base Filing Fee × Delay Multiplier)

Where:

  • Base Filing Fee = Fee from capital slab table × Form Type Multiplier (INR)
  • Delay Multiplier = Factor based on how many days late the filing is (0 to 12)
  • Total Fee = Final amount payable to the ROC (INR)

Capital Slabs for Base Fee:

  • Up to 1,00,000 INR: 200 INR
  • 1,00,001 to 5,00,000 INR: 300 INR
  • 5,00,001 to 10,00,000 INR: 500 INR
  • 10,00,001 to 25,00,000 INR: 1,000 INR
  • 25,00,001 to 50,00,000 INR: 2,000 INR
  • 50,00,001 to 1,00,00,000 INR: 4,000 INR
  • 1,00,00,001 to 2,00,00,000 INR: 5,000 INR
  • 2,00,00,001 to 5,00,00,000 INR: 6,000 INR
  • 5,00,00,001 to 10,00,00,000 INR: 7,000 INR
  • Above 10,00,00,000 INR: 8,000 INR

Delay Multiplier Slabs:

  • 0 days: 0 (no extra charge)
  • 1 to 15 days: 1x the base fee
  • 16 to 30 days: 2x the base fee
  • 31 to 60 days: 4x the base fee
  • 61 to 90 days: 6x the base fee
  • 91 to 180 days: 10x the base fee
  • More than 180 days: 12x the base fee

First, the calculator finds your base fee by looking at which slab your authorized capital falls into. Then it checks how many days late your filing is and picks the right delay multiplier. The additional fee is found by multiplying the base fee by that delay multiplier. The total fee is simply the base fee plus the additional fee. This means the longer you wait to file, the more the fee grows in steps.

Why ROC Filing Fee Matters

Knowing your ROC filing fee before you submit a form helps you plan your spending and avoid surprise costs. Filing on time keeps the fee low, while even a small delay can quickly add a large extra charge to your bill.

Why Timely Filing Is Important for Cost Control

When a company files late, the additional fee grows in big jumps rather than small steps. A delay of just 31 days means paying four times the base fee as an extra charge. This may lead to a much larger expense than many business owners expect. Planning ahead and filing on or before the due date is one way to keep filing costs manageable.

For Timely Compliance

Filing on time means you pay only the base fee with no extra charges. For a small company with capital up to 1 lakh INR, the total cost stays at 200 INR. This may help companies stay compliant without spending more than needed on filing fees. Setting reminders for due dates is a practice many companies follow.

For Budget Planning

If a company knows it may file late, estimating the total fee ahead of time may help set aside the right amount. A company with 25 lakh INR in capital that is 90 days late may owe around 14,000 INR instead of the base 2,000 INR. Having this estimate early may help avoid cash flow problems at filing time.

For Large Companies

Companies with very high authorized capital may reach the maximum base fee slab quickly. However, the delay multiplier still applies the same way for all company sizes. Large companies may also be subject to special provisions or updated MCA circulars that could change the fee. It may be helpful to verify with a company secretary or legal advisor before filing.

ROC Filing Fee vs Late Filing Penalty

The ROC filing fee and the late filing penalty are often confused, but they are different things. The filing fee is the standard charge based on your capital slab and form type. The additional fee for delay is an extra charge that gets added on top when you file past the due date. A separate penalty under the Companies Act may also apply for very late filings, which is not the same as the additional fee calculated here. This tool only estimates the filing fee and additional fee, not any separate legal penalties.
