Bookkeeping cost ranges in Bangalore (2026)
Monthly bookkeeping fees in Bangalore depend primarily on transaction volume, GST complexity, and whether TDS is included:
- Sole proprietor / freelancer, 50 transactions/month: ₹2,000–₹4,000/month
- Small Pvt Ltd, GST registered, 100–200 transactions/month: ₹4,000–₹8,000/month
- SME with inventory, payroll, and TDS: ₹8,000–₹15,000/month
- E-commerce seller with marketplace reconciliation: ₹6,000–₹12,000/month
- Annual cleanup / backlog catch-up (one-time): ₹15,000–₹50,000 depending on volume
What affects the price
Transaction volume is the primary driver. Each entry takes time. Beyond that:
- GST returns included: most bookkeepers include GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B; confirm in the engagement letter
- TDS return filing: often an add-on; ₹500–₹2,000/quarter per return
- Payroll: ₹100–₹300 per employee per month
- Software: if the bookkeeper uses their own Tally licence, they may charge for access
- Annual ITR filing for the business: typically charged separately
