Frequently asked questions
What benefits come with Startup India (DPIIT) recognition?
Recognised startups may access tax benefits (subject to separate approvals), easier compliance, fund-of-funds pathways, and ecosystem programmes. Benefits change with notifications—we map what applies to your entity today.
Who is eligible for DPIIT recognition?
Typically companies/LLPs within 10 years of incorporation, with turnover below notified limits, working on innovation or improvement. We assess eligibility before you invest time in the portal application.
What documents are needed for DPIIT application?
Incorporation certificate, pitch deck or innovation note, website/app proof, and founder details. Strong product evidence reduces clarification requests—we structure the narrative clearly.
How long does DPIIT recognition take?
Often a few days to several weeks depending on evaluator load and queries. Incomplete applications are rejected—we validate the pack before submission.
Is DPIIT recognition the same as 80-IAC tax exemption?
No. DPIIT recognition is the first step; 80-IAC requires a separate inter-ministerial board approval under Income Tax rules. We guide both tracks where eligible.
