Appliance Repair Service Call & Diagnostic Fee in India (2026)
Most Indian repair companies charge a call-out / diagnostic fee of ₹300–₹600, often credited toward the repair if you go ahead. Every figure is an Estimated or observed published fee — never a fake precise number. Reviewed July 2026.
What is the typical fee?
The national range is ₹300–₹600. The fee usually covers travel and diagnosis; many companies credit it against the repair if you proceed — always ask before booking. GST (18%) may or may not be included: many small repair firms and sole traders fall below India's GST registration threshold (₹20 lakh annual turnover for services) and charge no GST — so treat 18% as a ceiling, not a guaranteed add-on.
