What does a .in domain cost for one, three or five years?
The published .in rate is ₹1,000 a year for registration and renewal, giving a planning budget of ₹1,000 times the number of years before 18% GST if rates stay unchanged. With tax, the annual example is ₹1,180. These historical-rate scenarios are not verified prepaid-term checkout prices or promises about future renewals.

Who runs the .in registry?
.in is India’s country-code domain, managed by the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI), a not-for-profit body based at the World Trade Center, Nauroji Nagar, New Delhi. NIXI sets the policy and keeps the master database; accredited registrars submit registrations to it. WebJi® sells and manages .in registrations and is not the registry.
- Category: country-code TLD for India, Latin script.
- Redelegation to NIXI: documented in an IANA report dated 27 November 2009.
- Name servers: ns1 to ns4.registry.in.
- DNSSEC: secure delegation at the root.
- WHOIS / RDAP: whois.nixiregistry.in and rdap.nixiregistry.in.
- Registry site: registry.in.
.in price compared with .co.in, .org.in and .net.in
The NIXI second-level names cost less than .in itself: ₹809 to register and ₹877 to renew, against ₹1,000 flat for .in. A three-year planning comparison is ₹2,563 for .co.in (₹809 + ₹877 + ₹877) before GST, ₹437 below the .in budget, assuming unchanged rates. The trade-off is length: yourfirm.in is three characters shorter than yourfirm.co.in on a visiting card.
| Name | Register (₹/yr) | Renew (₹/yr) | 3-year planning budget | Usual holder | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| .in | ₹1,000 | ₹1,000 | ₹3,000 | Any Indian brand | Register → |
| .co.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | ₹2,563 | Companies and firms | Register → |
| .org.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | ₹2,563 | Trusts, NGOs, societies | Register → |
| .net.in | ₹809 | ₹877 | ₹2,563 | ISPs and network firms | Register → |
Buying yourfirm.in does not reserve yourfirm.co.in; each is a separate registration. Brands that worry about look-alikes often take both.
Who is allowed to register a .in domain?
Individuals, companies, societies and foreign entities may apply for .in without Indian residency, subject to NIXI's identification and verification requirements. Trademark and dispute rules also apply; open residency eligibility does not mean registration is document-free.
NIXI's published Registrar Accreditation Agreement, clauses 4.4.12–4.4.15, requires e-KYC for all registrants, with supporting identification requested by the registrar. Acceptable Indian identification includes a passport, voter ID, driving licence, Aadhaar or PAN; PAN is not the only option. The e-KYC acknowledgement must reach the registrar within seven days of registration.
Foreign or non-resident registrants must also provide a signed declaration demonstrating a legitimate business connection or purpose connected to India at registration. The registrar places the name on hold if that declaration is missing. Confirm the documents required for your registrant type before ordering.
Disputes over .in names go through INDRP, NIXI’s own dispute policy. A complainant must show the name is confusingly similar to their mark, that the holder has no legitimate interest, and that it was registered or used in bad faith. Search the IP India trademark records before you buy a brand-like name, and read domain name disputes in India for how cases run.
Is a .in domain enough, or do you also need .com?
For a business whose customers are in India, .in on its own is enough; add the .com at ₹1,380 only if you sell abroad or the brand is likely to be typed with .com. Neither extension ranks better by itself — Google can geotarget a .in to India automatically, while content, links and speed decide position. If you hold both, redirect one to the other so there is a single address to rank.

After you buy the .in name
DNS management and email forwarding come with the name, and the GST invoice is issued in INR at once. Point it at shared hosting for a site, and keep the registrant email working because NIXI-side notices go there. A .in held elsewhere moves in through domain transfer with its authorisation code; support is by email at support@webji.services, 24/7 in Hindi and English.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the .in renewal the same as the first year?
The published 4 November 2026 snapshot lists ₹1,000 a year for both registration and renewal before 18% GST. A later year's planning budget uses that rate only if it remains unchanged; confirm the renewal amount before paying rather than treating the snapshot as a future-price guarantee.
What is the .in price including GST?
₹1,180 for one year: ₹1,000 plus ₹180 GST. A registered business can claim the ₹180 as input credit if its GSTIN is entered before the invoice is issued.
Can an NRI or a foreign company buy a .in domain?
Yes, subject to NIXI's verification requirements. An Indian address is not required, but registrants need e-KYC and foreign or non-resident applicants must supply a signed declaration of an India-connected business purpose at registration. Confirm acceptable identification with the registrar; the e-KYC acknowledgement is due within seven days.
Is .co.in cheaper than .in?
Yes in the published rate comparison: .co.in is ₹809 for registration and ₹877 at renewal. One registration plus two renewals budgets ₹2,563 against ₹3,000 for .in before GST, assuming unchanged rates. The ₹437 difference is a planning comparison, not a verified prepaid-term quote.
Does NIXI sign .in with DNSSEC?
Yes. IANA shows a secure delegation for .in with a DS record in the root, so a .in name can be DNSSEC-signed when your DNS host supports it and the DS record is passed to the registry.
