GST Registration Fees in India 2026 — Everything You Need to Know
If you are a business owner, freelancer or startup founder wondering how much GST registration costs in India, you have come to the right place. TaxQuick has helped thousands of businesses in Hyderabad, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh get their GSTIN — and we will give you the complete, honest picture of government fees, professional charges and what to watch out for.
Government Fee for GST Registration — Is GST Registration Free?
Yes — the GST registration government fee is ₹0 (zero rupees). The Government of India does not charge any fee to obtain a GSTIN. You can apply on the GST portal (www.gst.gov.in) at no cost. Anyone charging you a “government fee” for GST registration is misleading you.

GST Registration Fees Charged by CAs vs TaxQuick
Traditional chartered accountant firms in Hyderabad typically charge ₹2,000 to ₹5,000 for GST registration. Some charge separately for each document. TaxQuick was built specifically to offer the same quality — sometimes better, because we are GST specialists — at a fraction of that cost. Our ₹499 proprietorship registration includes document checklist guidance, portal filing, officer query handling and GSTIN delivery to your WhatsApp.
GST Return Filing Charges — Monthly & Annual
After registration, every GST-registered business must file returns. Here is what late filing costs you versus TaxQuick’s filing charges:
| Return Type | Due Date | Late Fee (Govt) | TaxQuick Filing Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| GSTR-1 (monthly) | 11th of next month | ₹50/day (max ₹5,000) | Included in plan |
| GSTR-3B (monthly) | 20th of next month | ₹50/day + interest 18% | Included in plan |
| GSTR-9 (annual) | 31 December | ₹200/day (max 0.5% turnover) | ₹999–₹1,999 |
Our monthly GST retainer starts at ₹299 per month for businesses under ₹20 lakh turnover. For most small businesses, paying ₹299/month for zero late fees and zero notices is the easiest financial decision you will ever make.
Documents Required for GST Registration
The government fee is zero, but you do need these documents ready. TaxQuick checks every document before filing to avoid rejections and officer queries:
- PAN card of the business owner / company
- Aadhaar card linked to your mobile number
- Photograph (passport size)
- Proof of business address (electricity bill, rent agreement or NOC from owner)
