Service Overview

The Startup India initiative by the Government of India aims to build a strong ecosystem that is conducive for the growth of startup businesses. To claim benefits like tax exemptions, simplified compliance, and intellectual property support, startups must obtain recognition from the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).

Why this matters: DPIIT recognition is the gateway to apply for Section 56(2)(viib) tax holiday (Angel Tax exemption) and Section 80-IAC corporate income tax exemption.
