Official fees plus professional work
Trademark Registration Cost In India
The total cost depends on applicant type, number of marks, number of classes, search depth, and whether the application receives an examination objection or opposition.
Practical comparison
Current official TM-A filing fees
| Applicant type | E-filing fee | How it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Individual, startup, or small enterprise | INR 4,500 | For each class and each mark, subject to eligibility evidence. |
| All other applicants | INR 9,000 | For each class and each mark. |
| Physical filing | Higher than e-filing | IP India lists INR 5,000 or INR 10,000 by applicant category. |

Keep a separate allowance for objections, hearings, opposition, or expedited processing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the official trademark fee charged per class?
Yes. IP India states that the application fee is for each class and each mark.
Why can two professional quotes be different?
One may include only form filing, while another includes clearance search, class advice, evidence review, status monitoring, and objection support. Compare the written scope.
Does paying the fee guarantee registration?
No. The fee starts the application process. Registration depends on examination, possible objection or opposition, and compliance with the Trade Marks Act and Rules.
