Why we ask this
DPIIT recognition under the Startup India scheme unlocks a three-year income-tax holiday (Section 80-IAC), angel-tax exemption on share premium, fast-track patent examination with 80% fee rebate, and self-certification on labour and environmental laws — plus eligibility to bid on government tenders without the usual turnover history. Open to Pvt Ltd, LLP, and Registered Partnerships incorporated within the last 10 years with annual turnover under ₹100 Cr, and the business must show innovation, improvement, or scalable employment generation — not just a routine trade. The recognition application asks for the CIN/LLPIN, incorporation date, and a plain-English account of what the business actually does.
