The Act provides for an application for the registration of trademarks in more than one class of services or goods by way of one application. The fee payable in respect of such single application covering services or goods of several classes will be calculated and charged with respect to each such class as provided in the schedule to the Trademarks Act.
On a Trademark Application being by the proprietor/applicant it would be processed by the authority which shall issue a Trademark number subsequently. After the Trademark number is assigned, the Trademark registry will scrutinize the application on its merits and will issue an examination report setting out the objections to the registration of the trade mark and statutory requirements to be complied with, if any.
On a compliance with the requirements thereof, further processing of the application will be taken up by the registry. On completion of the requisite processing of the application up to the stage of advertisement in the Trade Mark Journal, the application will be listed for advertisement in the journal.
After advertisement in the journal, an interim period of four months from the date of advertisement of the mark is laid down by law, for oppositions, if any, from the interested parties and on the successful completion of this statuary gap after advertisement without any opposition, the application will be proceeded in further and the certificate of registration will be issued.

Oh well...pretty old thread! The procedure has changed slightly now. First a search has to be conducted to ascertain availability of the trademark. Then you have to submit the appropriate form with proper details. You might see the trademark registration procedure here.
It is recommended you take professional help.

Now the fees has been increased to Rs. 3500/- per mark.
Secondly, you have to make online search in the appropriate class of product thereafter file form TM1 along with the above fees for the registration of Trade Mark.
