Significant advantages for recognized startups
Your entity must be a company registered in India not older than 10 years, with an innovative business model. Founders must include individuals or micro, small & medium enterprises. The business should demonstrate innovation in product, process, or service delivery.
Section 80-IAC provides 100% exemption from income tax on profits for eligible startups for 3 years. This means no tax on business profits if your startup meets the criteria, saving substantial amount on tax liability.
Yes, LLPs (Limited Liability Partnerships) can be recognized as startups under DPIIT if they meet eligibility criteria. The LLP should not be older than 10 years and must demonstrate innovation.
The Startup India certificate is valid for 10 years from the date of incorporation (or from the date of recognition if applied later). It needs to be renewed for continued benefits if the startup was incorporated before application.
While DPIIT recognition doesn't guarantee funding, it provides access to the ₹10,000 Cr Fund of Funds through government agencies and makes your startup more attractive to investors and venture capital firms.
No, the company must not be older than 10 years from the date of incorporation. However, if your company was incorporated within 10 years but is now older, you may still apply if you meet other eligibility criteria.
