Recognition support for eligible startups
Practical assistance for eligible entities applying for DPIIT Startup Recognition, including eligibility review, business-description inputs and supporting information.
Overview
DPIIT Startup Recognition is available to eligible entities that satisfy the definition and conditions prescribed by the Government. Recognition is distinct from company incorporation and does not automatically grant every tax or regulatory benefit.
We help founders understand the current eligibility framework, organise the entity and business information, prepare a clear innovation or improvement narrative and review the supporting documents before the application is made through the official system.
Eligibility, government fees, processing time and filings depend on the facts of the case and the requirements in force when the application is made.
