Startup India DPIIT Registration

Startup India DPIIT registration is the online recognition of a startup by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade under the Startup India initiative — the application on the Startup India portal with the entity, the incorporation details and the innovation documentation, for the entities that meet the prescribed age, turnover and innovation criteria. The registration is the gateway to the startup benefits — the income tax exemptions under Sections 80-IAC and 56(2)(viib) of the Income-tax Act 1961 where the conditions are met, the self-certification under the labour laws, and the access to the funding and the support programs.

The DPIIT registration is the startup's formal identity in the ecosystem — the recognition that the tax department, the investors and the programs check before the benefits flow. The registration is applied for online, and the benefits — the three-out-of-ten-years 80-IAC exemption, the angel tax relief, the compliance relaxations — are claimed through the recognition and the filings that follow. The registration is quick; the benefits it unlocks are the value.

The cost of an unregistered startup is the foregone benefit: the 80-IAC profits taxed, the funding rounds without the angel tax protection, the programs and the schemes that the recognition would have opened.

This service is for startups seeking the DPIIT registration. We prepare and file the registration with the entity and the innovation documentation, obtain the recognition, and set up the benefit claims — the 80-IAC and the angel tax positions under the Act, the self-certifications — so the startup is registered and the benefits are claimed.
