Startup India Registration Fee starts from 2399/-

Eligible startups must be Indian private limited companies, LLPs, or partnership firms incorporated within the last 10 years, with an annual turnover not exceeding ₹100 crore. The startup should be working on innovative products, services, or processes that solve a problem or improve an existing solution. Sole proprietorships and traditional businesses without innovation do not qualify.

Benefits include a three-year income tax exemption under Section 80-IAC, eligibility for government funding schemes, self-certification under labor and environmental laws for five years, up to 80% rebate on patent application fees, and relaxed norms in government procurement tenders such as exemption from prior experience and earnest money deposits.

Key documents include your company's incorporation or registration certificate, PAN card, and a brief description of your innovative business model or product. Additionally, you may be required to submit documents like the Memorandum of Association (MoA), Articles of Association (AoA), and proof of concept such as a pitch deck or website link to demonstrate innovation.

Profile registration on the Startup India portal is immediate after document submission. DPIIT recognition typically takes a few days upon verification, after which a digital certificate is issued, enabling startups to avail the associated benefits quickly.
