The Government Fee Is Nil
There is no government fee for GST registration in India. The application on the GST portal (Form GST REG-01) is free, and so are amendments and cancellations. If someone quotes you a "government fee" for GST registration, ask what it is for.
What You Pay a Professional For
Professional fees in Bangalore typically range from a few hundred to a few thousand rupees, depending on what is included. A proper service covers:
- Checking whether you need GST at all, and whether to register voluntarily
- Choosing between the regular and composition schemes
- Picking the correct HSN codes for goods and SAC codes for services
- Preparing address and authorisation documents so they are accepted first time
- Answering any clarification the officer raises, within the deadline
Our fee is ₹999, which includes all of the above. Cheaper services often stop at submitting the form, leaving you to deal with queries or rejections alone.
Costs That Come With Being Registered
The real cost of GST is ongoing compliance, not registration:
- Return filing: GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B monthly or quarterly, and annual returns where applicable
- Late fees and interest: charged per day of delay and on tax paid late, even when returns are nil
- Accounting: reconciling purchases with GSTR-2B so you claim the right input tax credit
- E-invoicing and e-way bills: when your turnover or goods movements require them
Budget for monthly filing from the day you register. Our GST return filing service starts at a fixed monthly fee.
Avoid These Costly Mistakes
- Registering late: tax, interest and a penalty become payable for the period you should have been registered
- Wrong scheme: moving from composition to regular, or back, later on costs time and paperwork
- Ignoring returns after registration: registrations can be cancelled by the department for non-filing, and late fees build up

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any government fee for GST registration?
No. Applying for GST registration on the GST portal is free of cost. Any fee you pay goes to the consultant or professional who prepares and files the application.
Can I register for GST myself?
Yes. The application can be filed directly on the GST portal. Businesses use professionals mainly to choose the right category, scheme and HSN or SAC codes, and to answer officer queries so the application is not rejected.
Is there a fee for GST cancellation or amendment?
No. Amendments to registration details and cancellation of registration are also free on the portal.
What is the late fee for not filing GST returns?
Late fees apply for every day a return is delayed, capped per return, along with 18% a year interest on tax paid late. Nil returns attract a lower late fee. Late fees can quickly cost more than professional filing, which is why regular compliance matters.
What is the penalty for not registering when required?
A business that should have registered but did not is liable to pay the tax due with interest, plus a penalty of 10% of the tax due or ₹10,000, whichever is higher, and more if the evasion was deliberate.
