Paying
- Fees are paid through the Registry platform, before NCCF accepts the related request.
- Fees are due within 30 days of notification. Invoices are emailed to your registered address; no paper invoices are sent.
- All fees are in Indian Rupees. GST at 18% may apply. See Invoices and taxes.
- The Fee Schedule has applied since 16 September 2021. NCCF may update it; the version published on the website, with its date of enforcement, applies.
Late payment
If a fee is not paid on time, interest of 2% per day applies for the next 30 days (the Relaxation Period). If the fee and interest are still unpaid after that, the account is suspended. To reactivate it, you settle all outstanding fees and interest and pay a fee equal to opening a new account.
