CELPIP test fee in India
On celpip.ca, Paragon lists the CELPIP-General test in India at ₹15,500 INR. Every CELPIP-General session in the India table carried that one price when we read it. Neither the table nor the other celpip.ca pages we read say whether tax is included.

Is tax included in the India price?
celpip.ca's session table prints the price with no tax wording, and the other celpip.ca pages we read do not say whether tax is included for India. That is all celpip.ca says, so we say no more: we have no official tax statement for India. (Our advice, not Paragon's: read the total on the registration screen before you pay.)
Why do other pages give a different price?
You may see ₹12,500 INR or ₹10,845 INR quoted for India. Neither figure is in Paragon's session table: every session listed on 11 October 2026 was priced at ₹15,500 INR. Prices change, so the amount beside the session you choose is the one that counts.
Where can I take CELPIP in India?

What ID do I bring in India?
Paragon's Test Day Information page lists, for India: Passport Booklet and Refugee Travel Document for immigration purposes, and for other purposes “Same IDs”. It must be the one you registered with: original, valid, unexpired, matching your registration's full name and document number. Paragon says that without an acceptable ID you will not be allowed to take the test, and you cannot transfer it or get a refund.

Can I cancel or transfer a sitting?
Paragon's pages disagree on the deadline, so here are both, each with its page:
- Policies & Forms: a cancellation received at least 7 calendar days before the sitting gets 50% of the fee back; a transfer must be made at least 7 days ahead, and the first is free.
- The FAQ on celpip.ca's country pages, including India: at least 9 calendar days for both, a 50% refund, and a transfer fee of CA$50 plus applicable taxes.
The shorter notice you give, the less likely a refund. Which page applies to a registration made in India is not stated; the CELPIP Account shows what you are charged.
How long is the test, and when do results arrive?
Paragon words the total length three ways: “about 3 hours” on the country-page FAQ, and “under 3 hours”, “under 2 hours and 50 minutes”, “2 hours and 50 minutes” on others. The component times are the same everywhere: Listening 46–55, Reading 43–56, Writing 53 and Speaking 15 minutes. Results: 3-4 business days on the country-page FAQ, 2-4 business days on its Results page, Australia page, Test Day Information page.
How do I book a CELPIP sitting in India?

The FAQ on celpip.ca's country pages says 9 calendar days for both, with a transfer fee of CA$50 plus applicable taxes. If a request is later than the window that applies, no refund is given.
