BENEFITS
 

Benefits of Startup India Registration

Tax Exemption

An entity registered under the Startup India Scheme is eligible to apply for income tax exemption under Section 80 IAC of the Income Tax Act. This exemption allows startups to claim a tax holiday for any 3 consecutive financial years within the first 10 years from the date of incorporation, provided the following conditions are met:

The entity must be registered as a Private Limited Company or a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP).

It must have been incorporated between April 1, 2016, and April 1, 2021.

Angel Tax Exemption

A Startup India-recognized entity can avail tax exemption on funds received through angel investments. This exemption is applicable only if the total paid-up share capital and share premium, after the proposed share issue, do not exceed ₹25 crore. To qualify for this benefit, the startup must also meet certain conditions regarding investment in specified assets.

Rebate in Trademark and Patent Application fees

Startups registered under the Startup India Scheme are eligible for several IP-related benefits. They can claim a rebate on government fees for trademark applications and receive up to 80% rebate on patent filing fees. Additionally, they can take advantage of the fast-track process for patent applications. The government also covers the entire cost of facilitators for filing any number of patents, trademarks, or designs. Startups are only required to pay the applicable statutory fees.

Self Certification

Startups are allowed to self-certify compliance with 6 labour laws and 3 environmental laws for a period of 5 years from the date of their incorporation.

Government Tenders

Registering under the DIPP recognition scheme allows startups to participate in government tenders. Startups recognized under the Startup India scheme are exempt from the requirement of having prior experience or a minimum turnover when applying for tenders. Additionally, they are not required to submit an Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) while bidding for government tenders.

Interaction platform for Startups

Networking plays a vital role in helping entrepreneurs gain visibility and connect with industry peers. Once registered under the DIPP scheme, startups gain access to a platform where they can interact with fellow startups, investors, renowned speakers, and more at large-scale events and summits organized by the Government. Additionally, DIPP-recognized startups can register as sellers on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) and offer their products or services directly to government departments and agencies.

Fund of Funds for Startups

Startups can access funding through the Fund of Funds initiative under the Startup India scheme. As part of this program, DIPP has allocated ₹10,000 crore to support startups. The Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) manages the distribution of these funds, which are provided to startups that receive approval from designated implementing agencies.

Faster Exit

Startups registered under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) as Private Limited Companies or LLPs are eligible for fast-track winding up. Under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, startups with a simple debt structure or meeting specific income criteria can be liquidated within 90 days of filing an insolvency application.
