What is DPIIT Startup Recognition?
The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) grants Startup India recognition to eligible entities incorporated as a Private Limited Company, LLP, or Registered Partnership Firm. To qualify, the entity must be less than 10 years old, have annual turnover below ₹100 crore, and be working towards innovation, development, or improvement of products, processes, or services with a scalable business model. DPIIT recognition is a prerequisite for most Startup India benefits including the income tax exemption under Section 80-IAC, which must be separately applied for and approved by the Inter-Ministerial Board.
