Startup India (DPIIT) Registration in India
DPIIT recognition under Startup India is the gateway to a set of genuinely valuable benefits — a three-year income-tax holiday under Section 80-IAC, relief from angel tax, self-certification on labour and environmental laws, and easier access to government tenders and funds.
Eligibility is specific: the entity must be young, below a turnover ceiling, and working on innovation or scalability. Getting the recognition — and then the 80-IAC certificate — needs the pitch and documentation done right.
Key features and requirements
- Entity must be a private limited company, LLP or registered partnership
- Within 10 years of incorporation and under the prescribed turnover ceiling
- Working towards innovation, improvement or a scalable business model
- Section 80-IAC: a 3-year income-tax holiday (subject to approval)
- Relief from angel tax on share premium
- Self-certification under labour and environmental laws
