Quick Overview

Understand It in 30 Seconds

What is Startup India recognition?

An official certificate from DPIIT (Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade) identifying your entity as a startup, which unlocks the incentives of the Startup India programme.

Who should apply?

Private limited companies, LLPs and registered partnership firms up to 10 years old with turnover under ₹100 crore, working on an innovative or scalable product, service or process.

Why get recognised?

It is the doorway to income-tax exemption eligibility, self-certified compliance, cheaper and faster IP protection, government tenders and startup-focused funding schemes.

Key Benefits

What DPIIT Recognition Unlocks

Tax Holiday Eligibility

Recognised startups can apply for 100% income-tax exemption for 3 consecutive years under Section 80-IAC.

Self-Certification

Self-certify under key labour and environment laws with reduced inspections for the early years.

IPR Fast-Track

Expedited patent examination with an 80% rebate on patent fees and 50% on trademark fees.

Government Tenders

Exemption from prior-experience and EMD requirements in many public procurements, plus GeM access.

Funding Access

Eligibility for the Fund of Funds, Startup India Seed Fund and credit guarantee schemes.

Easier Exit

Fast-track voluntary closure under insolvency rules if the venture does not work out.
