The Startup India Recognition is an official certification granted by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India. It identifies a newly established business as an eligible startup under the Startup India Initiative, which was launched to promote entrepreneurship, innovation, and employment generation across the country.
Once a business receives DPIIT recognition, it becomes eligible for multiple benefits under government schemes. These include income tax exemption for three consecutive financial years under Section 80-IAC of the Income Tax Act, exemption from Angel Tax under Section 56(2)(viib), and priority access to government tenders. Recognized startups can also apply for funding support, easier patent registration, and self-certification under several labor and environmental laws.
To qualify, the company must be registered as a Private Limited Company, Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), or Partnership Firm, and must not be older than 10 years from the date of incorporation. Additionally, its annual turnover should not exceed ₹100 crore in any financial year, and the business must demonstrate innovation or improvement in products, services, or processes.
The Startup India Certificate of Recognition not only brings financial and compliance benefits but also enhances credibility with investors, lenders, and customers. It positions your company as a government-recognized startup, enabling smoother collaboration, faster IP registration, and better visibility in the Indian startup ecosystem.
