What is Startup India / DPIIT Registration?
Startup India is a Government of India initiative launched in January 2016 to build a strong ecosystem for nurturing innovation and startups in the country. DPIIT Recognition (formerly DIPP Recognition) is the official certification issued by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade to qualifying startups registered on the Startup India portal.
Once recognized, a startup gets access to a host of benefits including income tax exemptions, reduced patent filing fees, self-certification under labour laws, and access to government funds and procurement opportunities.
- Startup must be incorporated as Pvt Ltd, LLP or Registered Partnership Firm
- Not older than 10 years from the date of incorporation
- Annual turnover should not exceed ₹100 crore in any financial year
- Working towards innovation/improvement in products, processes or services
Benefits of Startup India / DPIIT Registration
3-Year Income Tax Exemption (80-IAC)
DPIIT-recognized startups can apply for 80-IAC exemption for income tax on profits for any 3 consecutive years out of the first 10 years of incorporation.
Angel Tax Exemption
DPIIT-recognized startups are exempt from Section 56(2)(viib) (angel tax) on funds received from investors, removing a major barrier to seed fundraising.
Fast-Track Patent Filing
80% rebate on patent filing fees and fast-track examination of patent applications, reducing the wait from years to months.
Self-Certification Under Labour Laws
Recognized startups can self-certify compliance under 6 labour laws for 5 years from incorporation, reducing inspector visits and compliance burden.
Reduced Trademark Fees
50% rebate on trademark filing fees — pay ₹4,500 instead of ₹9,000 per class, with fast-track examination.
Government Tenders (GeM Portal)
Recognized startups can bypass the prior-experience and turnover requirements in government procurement tenders, opening significant business opportunities.
