Why you should
register in the Startup India Scheme
Self Certification
Once an entity obtains the DPIIT (Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade) Certificate of Recognition for Startups, it is granted certain privileges. Notably, the entity is permitted to self-certify compliance under three Environmental Laws and six Labour Laws.
Income Tax Exemption
A business registered under the Startup India Program can obtain approval for tax exemption under section 80 IAC of the Income Tax Act. This offers the startup a tax holiday for three consecutive financial years during its initial ten years of incorporation.
Ease of Dissolution
The government has introduced provisions to simplify the process of winding down operations for businesses. The company can be wound up within 90 days of applying for insolvency.
Access to Funding
DPIIT has established Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS) to offer financial support to startups through Incubators. This can help you in various stages of your journey, including Proof of Concept, prototype development, product trials, market-entry, and commercialization. Numerous other schemes like Credit Guarantee Scheme, NIDHI PRAYAS, NIDHI SSS, BIRAC's initiatives, and TIDE 2.0 can also be accessed.
Capital Gains Tax Exemption
Capital gains from the sale of specified assets are exempted under Section 56 of the Income Tax Act if the proceeds are invested in eligible startups. This is also known as Angel Tax Exemption.
Easy Public Procurement Norms
A registered Startup can list its products on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) by registering as a Seller. GeM is a prominent online procurement platform used by the government for acquiring products and services. This makes it easier to access a potential market for their products.
