FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about Startup India Registration

DPIIT Recognition is the official certification granted by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (Ministry of Commerce & Industry) recognizing an entity as a qualified 'Startup'. An entity is eligible if it is incorporated as a Private Limited Company, LLP, or Registered Partnership for not more than 10 years, has an annual turnover under ₹100 Crores, and works towards innovation, development, or commercialization of new products/services.

Under Section 80-IAC of the Income Tax Act, DPIIT-recognized Private Limited Companies incorporated between 1st April 2016 and 31st March 2025 can apply for a 100% income tax exemption on business profits for any 3 consecutive financial years out of their first 10 years. Approval is granted by the Inter-Ministerial Board (IMB). TaxQue prepares your complete 80-IAC IMB application.

DPIIT-recognized startups that file Form 2 on the Startup India portal are 100% exempt from the dreaded 'Angel Tax' on investments received from domestic angel investors and venture capitalists at a valuation exceeding Fair Market Value (FMV), provided the paid-up capital and share premium do not exceed ₹25 Crores.

DPIIT-recognized startups receive an 80% rebate on government patent filing fees and a 50% rebate on trademark government fees, along with fast-track expedited examination (reducing patent grant time from 4 years to under 12 months).

Once your company pitch, innovation write-up, and website links are prepared, DPIIT review takes approximately 2 to 4 working days to issue the official Certificate of Recognition with a unique DIPP registration number.
