Q: What is the total cost of end-to-end NGO setup and first-year compliance?
For a Section 8 Company with full setup (formation + 12A + 80G + Darpan + CSR-1 + first year annual compliance), the total MFiling professional charges range from Rs.35,000 to Rs.65,000 depending on complexity, FCRA status, and number of CSR proposals. Government fees are additional (Rs.12,000–25,000). MFiling provides a fixed-price quote before engagement.

Q: Can an existing NGO join the end-to-end service midway?
Yes. MFiling onboards existing NGOs through a compliance audit that maps current status across all regulatory authorities, identifies gaps, and creates a regularisation and ongoing compliance plan. The retainer begins after the audit and gap-filling phase is complete.
