Free tool: authorised capital fee calculator
This authorised capital fee calculator works out the full cost of an increase in authorised share capital: the ROC fee on Form SH-7, stamp duty for your state, any late fee and Form MGT-14.
Fees as set by the Companies (Registration Offices and Fees) Rules, 2014, as amended to 12 November 2026; stamp duty from MCA’s table for SH-7 and each state’s own Stamp Act, checked on 12 November 2026.
To talk it through with our team, book a free consultation.
We draft the resolutions, alter the memorandum, pay the fee and the stamp duty and file SH-7, with MGT-14 where the articles change.
Stamp duty on an increase in authorised capital depends on the state or union territory of the registered office and is paid with Form SH-7, which works it out from MCA’s table for SH-7. Where a state’s own Stamp Act reads differently from that table, the row says so, with its source.

The ROC fee is the registration fee on the new capital less the fee on the existing capital, at the rates on the day Form SH-7 is filed. Stamp duty for the state of the registered office comes on top.
The SH-7 form collects it in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Daman and Diu, Delhi, Goa, Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Telangana, and nothing elsewhere. The table above gives each rule with its source.
The stamp duty of the state or union territory where the company’s registered office is.
Where a state’s own Stamp Act reads differently from MCA’s table, as in Delhi, Maharashtra and Jammu and Kashmir, the row gives both: the duty the SH-7 form collects and what the state’s Act says.
SH-7 is due within 30 days of the resolution. After that the additional fee is 2.5% of the fee for each month of delay for six months, then 3% a month.
Yes, up to Rs 50 lakh of authorised capital: its scale starts at Rs 2,000 for the first Rs 10 lakh. A subsidiary of a foreign company is never a small company.
The registration fee on any capital is capped at Rs 2.5 crore, which only comes into play above about Rs 332 crore of authorised capital.
Yes. Find the company by name or CIN and its authorised capital and state fill in from the public register, which runs about ten weeks behind.
