.firm.in Domain Registration India
A .firm.in domain is a zone of India's .in country code, run by NIXI, whose name presents the holder as a firm: a partnership, LLP, proprietorship or professional practice. WebJi® lists it at ₹809 for year one and ₹877 to renew, before 18% GST. Register it in the firm's name, not one partner's.
For partnerships, LLPs, CA and law practices and proprietorships that want the website and email to match the firm's legal name.

What does a .firm.in domain tell a client?
A .firm.in domain — such as mehta-associates.firm.in — is a zone of India’s .in country code that, by its name, presents the holder as a firm: a partnership, proprietorship, LLP or professional practice. It is administered by the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI), and the .IN Registry lists firm.in among its unrestricted zones, open to all parties worldwide with no qualification test.
The value is consistency. When the website, email and letterhead all carry the same firm identity, a bank, auditor or tender committee sees one business, not a person with a side project.
- Trade name: match the name on the GST registration certificate.
- Letterhead: an “M/s” firm name translates directly into the domain.
- Partnership deed or LLP agreement: the registrant should be the entity it describes.
Which firms register .firm.in?
Professional partnerships and owner-run trading firms are the typical holders, because their identity is a firm name rather than a brand or a company.
| Firm type | Example | What the site does |
|---|---|---|
| Chartered accountants’ partnership | guptaandco.firm.in | Services, partners and a client document portal |
| Law firm or advocates’ chamber | raolegal.firm.in | Practice areas and contact details |
| Architects or engineers | formstudio.firm.in | Project portfolio for clients and tenders |
| Trading proprietorship | jainbrothers.firm.in | Product list and dealer enquiries |
| Civil or electrical contractor | shivconstructions.firm.in | Completed works and registration details for bids |
| Consulting LLP | northstarconsulting.firm.in | Team, sectors and case summaries |
Who should be the registrant of a firm’s domain?
Register the .firm.in in the firm’s own name with a shared role mailbox, never in one partner’s personal name and Gmail. The registrant controls renewal, transfer and DNS. When a partner retires or a partnership splits, a domain held by one person becomes a dispute over the firm’s email.
- Registrant organisation: the firm, exactly as on its GST certificate or deed.
- Email: admin@ or accounts@ on a mailbox two partners can read.
- Account access: at least two people hold the registrar login.
- Record it: note the domain as a firm asset in the partnership records.
- On a partner’s exit: change contacts and passwords the same week.
Remember that the .IN WHOIS publishes the registrant, administrative and technical contacts, so the firm’s office address and landline are the right details to give.
How much does a .firm.in domain cost?
WebJi® lists .firm.in at ₹809 for the first year and ₹877 to renew, before 18% GST — ₹1,686 for a two-year term. Many firms also hold the .co.in of the same name in case they incorporate later; the pair costs ₹1,618 in year one and ₹1,754 a year after that.
| Extension | Registration (₹) | Renewal (₹/yr) | Two-year cost (₹) | Reads as |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .firm.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | ₹1,686 | A firm or practice |
| .co.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | ₹1,686 | A company |
| .in | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 | ₹2,000 | Any Indian business |
| .biz | ₹2,254 | ₹2,416 | ₹4,670 | A business, no country |
Each row uses that extension’s price as listed on its WebJi® page, read 14 November 2026. Invoices are in INR with the firm’s GSTIN for input credit.
What documents does a firm need for .firm.in?
None to prove it is a firm — NIXI does not verify the entity type — but the registrant must give true contact details and may be asked for KYC, which the .IN Registry calls mandatory under CERT-In’s Section 70B directions. Keep the GST certificate or deed handy; it is the simplest identity proof for a firm.
Terms run from one to ten years. Trademark conflicts are settled under the .IN Dispute Resolution Policy (INDRP), and a transfer to another registrar is possible once the name is 60 days old.
.firm.in or .co.in for a partnership?
Choose .firm.in when the business is and will stay a partnership or practice; choose .co.in when incorporation is likely within a few years. Changing domains later means new email addresses, reprinted stationery and redirect work, so the expected legal form matters more than the price, which is identical.
A sole professional working in a personal name is better described by .ind.in for individuals. Mailboxes for each partner run on business email or Google Workspace.
Frequently asked questions
Should an LLP use .firm.in or .co.in?
Either is allowed. An LLP that presents itself as a professional firm — accountants, lawyers, consultants — fits .firm.in. One that trades under a product brand usually reads better on .co.in.
What happens to the domain if the partnership is dissolved?
The registrant keeps control. If the firm is the registrant, the dissolution terms should say who takes the domain. If one partner registered it personally, that partner holds it, which is why registering in the firm’s name matters.
What does .firm.in cost for two years?
₹1,686 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹809 for the first year and ₹877 for the second. Adding the matching .co.in brings the two-year total for both names to ₹3,372.
Can a proprietorship register .firm.in in the owner’s name?
Yes. A proprietorship has no separate legal identity, so the owner is the registrant; list the trade name as the organisation so WHOIS and invoices match the business.
Can we move a .firm.in from another registrar to WebJi®?
Yes, once it is more than 60 days old. Get the authorisation code from the current registrar; the transfer adds one year to the expiry. Steps are on the domain transfer page.
