.ind.in is the individual extension of India's .in country code: a personal address such as yourname.ind.in. WebJi® registers it in INR with a GST invoice, any person can hold one without documents, and the term runs one to five years.
What a .ind.in Domain Is and Who It Suits
.ind.in is one of the second-level extensions under India's .in country-code domain, managed by the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI). The designation says individual, so name.ind.in reads as one person's corner of the Indian internet rather than a company or a firm.
It fits a person's work better than a business address does:
- Portfolios — designers, developers, writers and students who send one link to clients.
- Personal blogs — food, travel, photography and code, where the byline is the brand.
- Name brands — the exact name is usually still free here when .in and .com are taken.
Email is part of the value: yourname@yourname.ind.in reads properly on an application or an invoice, and it stays yours for as long as the name renews.
Who Can Register a .ind.in Domain in India
Any natural or legal person can register .ind.in, with no geographical restriction and nothing to upload at checkout. The category is personal, though, so a trading business belongs on .co.in or .firm.in even though the registry would not refuse a .ind.in order.
What the registry actually enforces:
| Rule | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Open to any person | No Indian address, company or GST number needed to register |
| No document upload | Nothing to submit at checkout; details must still be accurate |
| Personal category | Intended for individuals; firms and companies have their own second levels |
| 1 to 5 year term | Registration and renewal are sold in one to five year blocks |
| IDN and DNSSEC | International characters are supported, and the zone can be signed |
Two checks before you buy: clear the name against the IP India register if it is close to a known brand, because disputes run under the .IN Dispute Resolution Policy, and use a mailbox you will still read in five years, since the registrant email is how renewals and transfers are confirmed.
What a .ind.in Domain Costs in INR
WebJi® quotes .ind.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, quoted the same way, so the figure you approve is the figure 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. .ind.in is priced in the same registry class; its quote depends on the name, not the extension alone.
| Line item | How it is charged |
|---|---|
| First registration | .IN registry rate for the name + handling fee, in INR, GST extra |
| Renewal | Same registry rate, bought in 1 to 5 year blocks |
| Transfer in | Charged as one renewal year, added to the current expiry |
| Restore after expiry | Registrar restore fee plus the renewal year |
Bands dated October 2026 and shown before 18% GST. The exact .ind.in registration and renewal figures are confirmed at checkout or by ticket before payment.
How to Register a .ind.in Domain with WebJi®
The order takes a search, your contact details, one payment and a nameserver change. Nothing is posted or couriered.
- Check the name. Search it in domain availability; if it is taken, you get the closest free variants.
- Enter your own details. Use your name and a mailbox you will keep, because this is how renewals and transfers are confirmed.
- Choose the term and pay. One to five years, in INR; the GST invoice arrives with the order confirmation.
- Wait for registry confirmation. Most .ind.in orders clear in minutes. If the registry flags the name for review, we come back with what it needs.
- Point it and add SSL. Set nameservers to your WebJi hosting, install the free Let's Encrypt certificate, and the site is live with email working.
.ind.in Renewal, Transfer and Expiry Rules
Renewal is bought in one to five year blocks at the same registry rate plus GST. Keep auto-renew on and the reminder emails will reach you at 60, 30 and 7 days, because a lapsed personal domain loses its email along with the site.
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 30-day grace window, then a 30-day redemption period with a restore fee, then deletion, after which anyone may register it. A name used on a CV or a client list deserves a calendar reminder well before the grace window opens.
.ind.in or .in for a Personal Brand
.in is the short flagship: fewer characters, stronger recall, and the exact name is often taken. .ind.in is longer but states that the holder is a person, and the exact name is more often free. Pick .in when recall matters most, .ind.in when the name has to match your own.
| Extension | What it signals | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| .ind.in | An individual | Portfolio, personal blog, name brand |
| .in | India, no category | Shortest address, strongest recall |
| .co.in | A company | A business trading under its own name |
| .firm.in | A firm | Partnerships and proprietorships |
Many individuals hold both and redirect one to the other; the pair is cheap next to the cost of losing the name later. The .gen.in general-purpose extension is the third option when the site is a project rather than a person or a company.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a .ind.in domain?
A .ind.in domain is the individual extension of India's .in country code, managed by NIXI, and reads as a personal address such as yourname.ind.in. It carries the same registry and DNS as the rest of the .in family but signals a person rather than a company.
Who can register a .ind.in domain?
The registry accepts any natural or legal person, with no geographical restriction and no document upload at checkout. The category is still personal, so a trading business belongs on .co.in or .firm.in even though .ind.in registration would not be refused.
Is .ind.in only for individuals?
In intent, yes. Nothing is checked at registration, but the address reads as a personal name, and a partnership or company that uses it looks miscategorised next to its own letterhead. Use .firm.in for firms and .co.in for companies.
How much does a .ind.in domain cost?
WebJi® confirms the .ind.in price in INR before payment: the .IN registry rate for the name plus our handling fee, with 18% GST on the invoice. Sibling prices read on 4 November 2026 are .in at ₹1,000 a year and .co.in at ₹809.
What is the difference between .in and .ind.in?
.in is the short open extension: fewer characters, strongest recall, and the exact name is often taken. .ind.in states that the holder is an individual and usually still has the exact name free, so it wins when the name matters more than the length.
How long can I register a .ind.in domain for?
One to five years per order, the term the .IN registry allows for this second level. Renewal runs in the same one to five year blocks, so a personal site can be paid up for years at a time.
How do I transfer a .ind.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.
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 you.
