Microsoft 365 Price in India

The price, plainly

HostMinute sells Microsoft 365 in Indian rupees, billed once a year. There are two plans most Indian small businesses choose between, plus an email-only option if you do not need Teams or the Office apps:

Plan	Price (per user, per year +GST)	Works out to
Microsoft 365 Business Basic	₹2,040 +GST	₹170/user/month, billed yearly
Microsoft 365 Business Standard	₹10,320 +GST	₹860/user/month, billed yearly
Exchange Online Plan 1 (email only)	₹3,383 +GST	₹282/user/month, billed yearly

All prices are per user, per year, plus GST. Billing is yearly only. A discount of up to 10% is available on Business Basic and Business Standard — the lowest those go is ₹1,836 per user per year for Basic and ₹9,288 for Standard. Exchange Online Plan 1 is already discounted from the Microsoft list price of ₹4,020 per year, so no further discount applies to it. If you need more than 50 users, monthly billing may be considered on request — message us and we will work out the price with you.

What you get for the price

Feature	Business Basic — ₹2,040/user/year +GST	Business Standard — ₹10,320/user/year +GST
Outlook email on your domain	Yes — 50 GB mailbox	Yes — 50 GB mailbox
OneDrive cloud storage	1 TB per user	1 TB per user
Microsoft Teams	Yes — chat, meetings, and calls	Yes — chat, meetings, and calls
Word, Excel, PowerPoint	Web and mobile versions	Web, mobile, and full desktop versions
Outlook desktop app	No — web and mobile only	Yes
Shared calendars and contacts	Yes	Yes

Both plans include Outlook email on your own domain — yourname@yourcompany.in — with spam and virus filtering, shared calendars, and sign-in from phone, laptop, or browser. The difference that decides it for most teams is simple: if your staff work in Word and Excel all day on a PC or Mac, they need Standard. If they are happy in a browser and on phones, Basic covers them. Read the full plan breakdown on our Microsoft 365 email page.

Worked examples

Team	Plan	Yearly cost (before GST)
5 users	Business Basic	5 × ₹2,040 = ₹10,200/year
10 users	Business Basic	10 × ₹2,040 = ₹20,400/year
5 users	Business Standard	5 × ₹10,320 = ₹51,600/year
10 users	Business Standard	10 × ₹10,320 = ₹1,03,200/year
10 users	Exchange Online Plan 1	10 × ₹3,383 = ₹33,830/year

GST is charged on top of these figures, and your GST invoice is provided. Domain registration, if you do not own a domain yet, is ₹1,199 plus GST, charged separately.

Microsoft 365 vs Google Workspace vs Zoho Mail

Price is only part of the choice — but here is how the entry points compare at HostMinute:

Option	Starting price	Best for
Microsoft 365 Business Basic	₹2,040/user/year +GST	Offices that live in Word, Excel, and Outlook
Google Workspace Starter	₹3,240/user/year +GST	Teams that prefer Gmail, Drive, and Meet
Zoho Mail Lite	₹59/user/month, billed yearly	Businesses that only need email, at the lowest cost

Google Workspace Standard is ₹10,320 per user per year +GST, the same as Microsoft 365 Business Standard. Zoho Mail Premium is ₹199 per user per month on yearly billing. Compare the options in detail on our Google Workspace, Zoho Mail, and business email hosting pages — or message us on WhatsApp and we will recommend the plan that fits your team, not the most expensive one.

How setup works

1. Message us on WhatsApp with your domain and the number of users you need.
2. We confirm the plan and price — Basic, Standard, or Exchange Plan 1 — and create the licences.
3. We create each mailbox on your domain and send you the sign-in details.
4. We migrate your old mail and update your DNS records, so mail flows to the new mailboxes without interruption.
5. We help you sign in on Outlook web, phone, and desktop, and test sending and receiving with you.

Setup usually takes hours, not days. We can also help with domain and SSL and web hosting if your website needs a home too.

Why HostMinute for Microsoft 365

Buying Microsoft 365 from a large portal means doing the setup yourself and waiting on a ticket when something breaks. Buying from HostMinute means a person helps you set it up, moves your mail, and answers on WhatsApp when you need help. Our headline difference is 24/7 support, including 24/7 WhatsApp support with real humans.

We price in rupees, bill yearly, and explain the price before you pay. We understand Indian small businesses — the GST invoice, the yearly budget, the phone-first way of working — and we recommend the plan that fits your team, not the most expensive one. If Business Basic is enough, we will say so.
