.firm.in is the second-level domain India's .IN registry keeps for firms: partnership firms, proprietorships, LLPs and companies. WebJi® registers it in INR, confirms the price before payment, and the name renews yearly, up to ten years, with 18% GST on every invoice.
What a .firm.in Domain Is and Who It Suits
.firm.in is one of the second-level extensions under India's .IN country-code domain, administered by the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI). It exists to label the registrant as a firm — a partnership, a proprietorship, an LLP or a company — where a plain .in says nothing about the entity behind the site.
Three kinds of buyer get the most from it:
- Partnership firms — an address that matches a letterhead already written as M/s.
- Professional practices — CA, CS, law and architecture firms that trade under a firm name.
- Proprietorships — a registered, trading face for institutional buyers and tender documents.
The extension repeats what the GST certificate and the partnership deed already say, which is why trade buyers read it as a business format rather than a personal page.
Who Can Register a .firm.in Domain in India
Any firm trading in India can hold a .firm.in name: partnership firms, proprietorships, LLPs, private and public companies, and trusts that trade as firms. Nothing is uploaded at checkout, but the .IN registry can ask for proof that the firm exists, and it can suspend a name that misrepresents the registrant.
There is no residency test for .IN, so an overseas partnership with Indian operations can register too. What separates the second levels is the registrant category, not the price alone:
| Extension | Registrant it is meant for | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| .firm.in | Partnership firms, proprietorships, LLPs, companies | The subject of this page; price quoted at checkout |
| .co.in | Companies and commercial brands | Mainstream corporate default |
| .in | Any registrant, in India or abroad | Shortest form, strongest recall |
| .gen.in | Any registrant, general use | For names that fit no category |
| .ind.in | Individual people | For a person trading in their own name |
| .org.in | Non-profits, societies, trusts | Not for commercial trading |
| .net.in | ISPs and network operators | Network infrastructure only |
Two checks before you buy. A proprietorship can sit on .firm.in when it trades under a firm name; a freelancer invoicing in a personal name belongs on .ind.in. And clear the name for trademark conflict, because disputes run under the .IN Dispute Resolution Policy (INDRP). The corporate sibling, .co.in registration, is the default when the firm may convert to a company.
What a .firm.in Domain Costs in INR
WebJi® quotes .firm.in in INR before you pay: the .IN registry rate for that name plus our handling fee, with 18% GST added on the invoice. Short and premium names carry a registry premium, and that figure is quoted the same way, so the amount you approve is the amount you pay.
For the wider family, the November 2026 prices printed on this site are .in at ₹1,000 a year and .co.in at ₹809 a year, renewing in the same range. Treat .firm.in as a category extension rather than a cheaper .in; its quote depends on the name you pick.
| Line item | How it is charged |
|---|---|
| First registration | .IN registry rate for the name + handling fee, in INR, GST extra |
| Renewal | Same registry rate each year, up to ten years paid ahead |
| Transfer in | Charged as one renewal year, added to the current expiry |
| Restore after expiry | Registrar restore fee plus the renewal year |

How to Register a .firm.in Domain with WebJi®
The order takes a search, the firm's registrant details, one payment and a nameserver change. Nothing is posted or couriered.
- Check the name. Search the firm name in domain availability; if it is taken, you get the closest free variants.
- Enter the registrant exactly. Use the name and address on the GST certificate or partnership deed. The .IN WHOIS is public, so use the firm's address and a role mailbox such as info@, not a personal one.
- Choose the term and pay. One to ten years, in INR; the GST invoice arrives with the order confirmation.
- Wait for registry confirmation. Most .firm.in orders clear in minutes. If the registry flags the name for review, we come back with the document it wants.
- Point the domain. Set nameservers to your WebJi hosting or keep the current DNS, and add the domain in cPanel before you publish.
.firm.in Renewal, Transfer and Expiry Rules
Renewal runs at the same registry rate as registration, plus GST, and you can pay up to ten years ahead in one order. Keep auto-renew on: a lapsed .firm.in stops resolving and returns only through a paid restore.
A transfer in needs the auth code from the current registrar and a domain registered more than 60 days ago. A completed transfer adds one year to the expiry rather than replacing it; the mechanics are on the domain transfer page.
After expiry the name enters a short grace window, then redemption with a restore fee, then deletion, after which anyone may register it. If a former partner still controls the registrar login, move the domain before the renewal date, not after.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a .firm.in domain?
A .firm.in domain is a second-level name under India's .IN country-code registry, kept for firms: partnership firms, proprietorships, LLPs and companies. It behaves like any other domain, but the extension states the registrant's business format in the address.
Who can register a .firm.in domain?
Any firm trading in India, including partnerships, proprietorships, LLPs and companies, plus overseas firms with Indian operations. Nothing is uploaded at checkout, but the registry can ask for proof of the firm and can suspend a name that misrepresents the registrant.
Can an individual register .firm.in?
An individual trading under a firm name can, because the registrant is the proprietorship. A person buying a name in their own name should use .ind.in, the individual category, and leave .firm.in to the business entity.
How much does a .firm.in domain cost?
WebJi® confirms the .firm.in price in INR before payment: the .IN registry rate for that name plus our handling fee, with 18% GST added on the invoice. Sibling prices read on 4 November 2026 are .in at ₹1,000 a year and .co.in at ₹809.
Is .firm.in better than .co.in for a partnership firm?
.firm.in names the legal form, so a partnership or proprietorship reads correctly to trade buyers. .co.in is the mainstream corporate format and the safer default if the firm may convert to a company; many firms hold both and redirect one to the other.
How do I transfer a .firm.in domain to WebJi®?
Take the auth code from the current registrar, confirm the domain is more than 60 days old and not expiring within a fortnight, then place the transfer order. A completed transfer adds one year to the expiry date.
What happens if a .firm.in domain is not renewed?
The name stops resolving at expiry and enters a short grace window. After that it moves to redemption, where the registrar charges a restore fee, and then it is deleted and released for anyone to register.
Do you provide GST invoices?
Every registration, renewal and transfer gets a GST invoice with our GSTIN, and prices are quoted before 18% GST. Claim input credit where it applies to your firm.
