Overview - dpiit recognition for startups startup government schemes Registration
What is it?
DPIIT (Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade) Recognition is the official startup certification issued by the Government of India under the Startup India initiative. It is the primary gateway to all startup-specific benefits under Indian law - tax exemptions, regulatory relaxations, IPR incentives, and access to government funding schemes.
Eligibility
Private Limited Company, LLP, or Registered Partnership · Incorporated ≤ 10 years ago · Annual turnover ≤ ₹100 crores · Working on innovative products/processes/services · Not formed by splitting or reconstructing an existing business.
Section 80-IAC Tax Exemption
The most significant benefit - DPIIT-recognised startups can apply to the Inter-Ministerial Board (IMB) for complete income tax exemption for any 3 consecutive years out of their first 10 years of incorporation. This is separate from and in addition to the DPIIT Recognition certificate.
Key scheme access unlocked
SIDBI Fund of Funds (₹10,000 crore), Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (₹945 crore), Credit Guarantee Scheme for Startups (CGSS), National Startup Awards eligibility, and state-specific startup schemes.
