One of the first questions every entrepreneur asks before applying for a trademark is: "How much does trademark registration cost in India?" The total trademark registration fees depend on two components — the government filing fee charged by the Trade Marks Registry, and the professional fee charged by the agency or attorney handling your application. This guide breaks down both costs in detail, explains who qualifies for lower government fees, and shows the exact pricing for getting your trademark filed through SetupFiling.in.

Government Fee for Trademark Registration

The Trade Marks Registry charges a fixed government fee per class of goods or services, payable at the time of filing the application (Form TM-A). This fee is set by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and is the same across India when filed electronically through the official IP India portal.

  • Rs. 4,500 per class — for individuals, sole proprietorships, startups, and MSMEs (with a valid Udyam/MSME Registration Certificate), filed online
  • Rs. 9,000 per class — for other applicants such as private limited companies, LLPs, and partnership firms without MSME registration, filed online
  • Additional Rs. 100 per class — if the application is filed physically (offline) instead of electronically

If your business has not yet obtained MSME status, getting one before filing can significantly reduce your government fee. Learn more about the process in our MSME registration certificate guide.

List all goods or services your brand covers and map them to the relevant NICE classification class(es). Each class is charged separately.

Multiply the applicable government fee (Rs. 4,500 or Rs. 9,000) by the total number of classes selected for your application.

Add the professional service fee (Rs. 2,000 per class with SetupFiling.in) for search, drafting, and filing assistance.
