FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Startup India Registration

What is Startup India Registration / DPIIT Recognition?

Startup India Registration (also called DPIIT Recognition) is official recognition by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India. It certifies that your entity qualifies as a "startup" under the Startup India initiative, making you eligible for various tax benefits, funding access, simplified compliance, and other government incentives.

What is the government fee for Startup India Registration?

The government fee for DPIIT Startup Recognition is completely FREE. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry does not charge any fee for issuing the Certificate of Recognition. The fees charged by consultants/CAs are professional service charges for application preparation, innovation write-up, and filing assistance.

What are the eligibility criteria for Startup India?

To be eligible: (1) Must be a Private Limited Company, LLP, or Registered Partnership Firm, (2) Not older than 10 years from incorporation date, (3) Annual turnover below ₹100 Crore in any financial year, (4) Working on innovative products/services/processes, (5) Not formed by splitting or restructuring an existing business. Sole proprietorships are NOT eligible.

How long does DPIIT Recognition take?

DPIIT Recognition typically takes 7-15 working days from the date of complete application submission. The timeline may extend if DPIIT requests clarifications or additional documents. With proper documentation and a well-written innovation statement, approvals are usually faster.

What is Section 80-IAC Tax Exemption?

Section 80-IAC provides 100% income tax exemption on profits for 3 consecutive financial years out of the first 10 years from incorporation. Only Private Limited Companies and LLPs incorporated after April 1, 2016 are eligible. After getting DPIIT Recognition, you need to apply separately to the Inter-Ministerial Board for this exemption.

Is Angel Tax still applicable after DPIIT recognition?

As of FY 2024-25, the Indian government has completely abolished Angel Tax for all startups. Previously, DPIIT recognized startups were exempt under Section 56(2)(viib). Now, even without DPIIT recognition, startups don't have to pay Angel Tax on investments received above fair market value.

Can an existing company apply for Startup India?

Yes, existing companies can apply as long as they meet all eligibility criteria - particularly the age limit (under 10 years) and turnover limit (under ₹100 Crore). The company must also be working on innovative products/services and should not have been formed by splitting an existing business.

What is the validity of DPIIT Recognition?

DPIIT Recognition is valid for 10 years from the date of incorporation of the startup, or until the startup's turnover exceeds ₹100 Crore in any financial year, whichever occurs first. There is no renewal required during this period.

Can a Partnership Firm get tax exemption under 80-IAC?

No, Partnership Firms are NOT eligible for tax exemption under Section 80-IAC. Only Private Limited Companies and LLPs can apply for this benefit. However, Partnership Firms can still get DPIIT Recognition and avail other benefits like patent fee rebate, trademark discount, self-certification, and government tender relaxations.

What is the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme?
