⚡ Key takeaways
- PMI charges Indian PMP holders in rupees from its own India price list, which is set for local price parity rather than converted from US dollars, and adds tax at checkout.
- Training providers report the India renewal fee as about ₹3,475 for members and ₹11,585 for non-members, before GST. Check your myPMI dashboard for your exact price.
- You still need 60 PDUs every 3 years (at least 35 Education, up to 25 Giving Back). The rules are the same worldwide.
- India has 11 PMI chapters, and their educational events count as PDUs.
If you hold a PMP in India, renewing it follows the same PMI rules as everywhere else. What is different locally is what PMI charges in rupees, how GST and income tax apply, and where to find chapter PDUs. This guide covers exactly that.

| Education PDUs | At least 35, with 8 or more in each Talent Triangle area |
| Giving Back PDUs | Up to 25 (optional) |
| Renewal fee | Charged in INR from PMI’s India price list (US list price: US$60 members / US$150 non-members) |
| Where to report | PMI’s CCR System (CCRS) at pmi.org |

What PMP renewal costs in India
What changes your total is membership and how you earn the 60 PDUs. PMI fees below are as reported by training providers, before GST.
| Route | PMI fee (before GST) | PDUs | Typical total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-member + 60 PDU bundle | ~₹11,585 | ₹4,999 with the Gururo 60 PDU bundle (current offer) | ~₹16,584 + GST |
| Non-member + free PDUs only | ~₹11,585 | ₹0 (chapter events, webinars, Giving Back) | ~₹11,585 + GST + about 60 hours of your time |
| PMI member + member webinars | ~₹3,475 | Included with membership | ~₹3,475 + GST + the annual membership fee |
Good to know
PMI says all products sold in India are taxed, and the tax is shown on your order confirmation. GST is usually 18%. Your exact renewal price is in your myPMI dashboard.
Should you become a PMI member first?
Compare the member renewal fee plus the annual membership fee with the non-member renewal fee. Membership also includes your local chapter (India was PMI’s pilot market for combined global and chapter membership), member webinars that earn PDUs, and PMI standards. It usually pays off if you use those benefits, not only for the renewal discount. Check the current INR membership price in myPMI.

GST on PDU courses
Commercial training and coaching is taxed at 18% GST in India. Prices from Indian providers usually show GST separately, so compare totals including tax.
Employer payment and income tax
- Salaried employees: the new tax regime gives a flat ₹75,000 standard deduction and no separate deduction for certification or training costs.
- Best option: ask your employer to pay PMI and the PDU provider directly from its learning budget. How reimbursements are taxed depends on your employer’s policy, so check with payroll or a CA.
- Self-employed and consultants: PDU courses and the renewal fee can generally be treated as business expenses. Keep invoices and certificates.
The Income-tax Act, 2025 applies from 1 April 2026.

- Keep invoices and completion certificates for reimbursement.
PMI chapters in India and free PDUs
