DPIIT Startup Recognition provides official startup status, IPR fee rebates (80%), self-certification for labour laws, and GeM procurement relaxations. Section 80-IAC is an additional advanced certificate approved by the Inter-Ministerial Board (IMB) that grants a 100% tax holiday on profits for 3 consecutive years out of 10 years.
Only Private Limited Companies, Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP), and Registered Partnership Firms incorporated within the last 10 years qualify. Sole Proprietorships and Unregistered Partnerships are not eligible for DPIIT recognition.
Upon securing DPIIT recognition, startups can file Form 2 on the Startup India portal. This provides 100% exemption on shares issued at a premium above Fair Market Value (FMV) up to an aggregate paid-up share capital and share premium of ₹25 Crore.
DPIIT Recognition Certificate is generally processed within 3 to 7 working days once the application and innovation deck are filed. Section 80-IAC IMB approval involves scrutiny by government technical committees and typically takes 4 to 8 weeks.
